Visiting a new place is always a good opportunity to try the
local delicacies on offer. Buying locally produced products also
has many environmental benefits:
- Shops which buy from local farms are helping to maintain the diverse farmed landscape that characterises the area
- Local food is fresh and accountable you can trace where the meat or eggs you buy has come from
- Short distances between farm, abattoir and point of sale not only reduces stress for the animal but also minimises mileage which reduces pollution
- Supporting local shops and suppliers supports local jobs and the wider rural economy
- Local shops also have social functions in rural areas they often offer a variety of other services other than their main purpose, allow traders to keep in contact with the elderly and infirm and provide shopping outlets for those who cannot afford or are no longer able to drive
