Latest news from Big Barn and our producers.
Great to hear the BBC Food programme recognising all the great food producers popping up all over the UK as some enlightened people even give up high paying careers to follow a food passion.
Unfortunately with our culture of supermarket convenience, it is difficult for many of these new food businesses to get the number of customers they need to survive, and the more they spend on marketing the more they have to charge for their products.
So well done Sheila and the BBC food team for raising awareness to these new artisans and I hope that all will get promotion with icons on our local food map and shops in MarketPlace.
By working together we can encourage greater local food production and trade, and build a social, local, food industry as a better alternative to the anti-social, national one.
