Shop and Eat Local - Take your Taste buds on holiday

The latest programme initiated as part of our West Midlands RDPE funding programme was launched recently at Stoneleigh Park. Shop and Eat Local is designed to help your guests, particularly if they are self-catering, access your local farm shops and local producers.

Even though the initial promotion is West Midlands based, the whole programme works on a national basis and couldn't be simpler. If you want to share local food with your guests, rather than welcoming supermarket delivery vans, then this programme is for you.

Farm Stay has teamed up with "Big Barn" to provide a listing through the website. Big Barn provides a comprehensive list of farm shops, local producers and shops to highlight where your guests can find the best local produce. Take a look at www.farmstay.co.uk/bigbarn and enter your post code into the Shop and Eat local page.
