Farmers' markets are wonderful things when you can get to them, but not everyone lives near enough a regular market to stock up regularly. This need no longer be a problem with the launch of Local Food Shop: a virtual farmers' market where you can buy great food and drink on-line, direct from local producers.
This is great news for the farmers, as they get 93% of the sale value each time you shop on the site. The remaining 7% supports the social enterprise which runs the site, re-investing any profits back into the local food sector.
The whole of the UK is covered, and you can search for foods of all sorts, including bread, meat, fruit, veg, honey and preserves.
You'll reap all the benefits of farmers' market shopping; great quality fresh produce, seasonal fruit and veg at its best, and the chance to avoid lining the coffers of greedy supermarkets. [Via New Consumer]
