Much is made of local produce, but where the heck can you find all these firms that are supposedly on your doorstep?
In an attempt to get all such organisations under one roof, Devon County Council is putting together A Green Taste of Devon at RHS Garden Rosemoor in Great Torrington from 11am to 4pm on Wednesday September 10.
According to the press release: “The exhibition is a showcase for producers to find new markets for their food and drink, and for hoteliers, B&Bs, restaurants and shops to source more Devon produce for their visitors. The event is also a chance for companies to share green solutions and purchasing eco-friendly products and services.”
Councillor Margaret Rogers, Devon County Council Executive Member for Environment, told the PRSD: “People are increasingly interested in the quality of food, how it is grown and how environmentally friendly it is in terms of packaging and waste.
“Locally produced food and drink are also sought more and more by people wishing to see a reduction in food miles. This trade exhibition addresses all of those issues and it could enable more firms in the county to share their experience to help make Devon even greener.”
For an exhibitors pack or to reserve tickets call 01392 383428 or 01392 382176.
And in the meantime, here’s a thirst-quenching list of Devon cider makers.
