Buying local has many benefits - for you, local farmers and food producers, the environment and the local economy and community
Buying local...means you should enjoy fresher, less processed food - which often means it's more nutritional and tastes better
Buying local...reduces waste, as local food tends to be minimally packaged
Buying local...cuts transport and energy use by reducing 'food miles' (also fewer lorries clogging up our roads too, so less new roads hopefully)
Buying local...can support small scale, traditional farming practices, which in turn benefit wildlife and landscape diversity
Buying local...supports the local economy, retaining money in the area, providing jobs and opportunity
Buying local...builds your link with local food production, increasing your knowledge about the food you eat
Buying local...gives you a great feeling, it gives you the chance to get involved in the local food network in your area, and help it to thrive
Shepherd's sources as much local food and drink as possible, but we also try to support other local businesses where we can - including tradesmen, stationers and other retail outlets, printers, designers, signwriters and many others.
