You can support your local farmers directly at a time when they need a loyal and secure market. For example you can find out how you can get fresh, organic food in your area, and support your local grower with the Soil associations ‘eat organic - buy local’ campaign.
Why buy local organic food
-
•It’s good for the environment - less road and air transport, less packaging, less pollution and less waste.
-
•It’s good for your local economy - keeps money in your local area, creating jobs and businesses locally and giving farmers and growers a more economic return of the price you pay.
-
•It’s good for your community - making links between people in urban area and the countryside.
-
•It’s good for your health - fresher food with improved nutrient levels, containing fewer contaminants.
‘Shop locally for fresher, healthier, less-travelled food and support your local producers and shop-keepers’.
This slightly amended comment from the Soil association is why we opened Handley Organics in Ledbury.
Stocking a wide range of the very best in fresh, seasonal and local products, and sourcing the other fruit and vegetables to which we have all become accustomed to in this day and age, we aim to provide everything the modern earth-conscious customer needs.
Not only do we stock fresh products but we have a large range of dry and whole-foods which have bought gasps of admiration from customers, some of whom are more used to seeing this sort of wide ranging stock in much larger establishments. we keep a range of teas and coffees from the best and most respected suppliers, we also stock a range of baking products from the likes of Marriages and Doves Farm. Tinned jarred and pre-packed foods from Suma, Essential and Infinity together with a range of herbs and spices (fresh in season) sold loose or pre-packed.
We keep a range of cakes and pastries form local producers and pre-packed bacon, gammon and mince etc from Cridlan & walker a prominent local organic producer. Also in the chiller units can be found milk local cheeses butter fresh yeast and many other choice products.
All these served by Caroline or our friendly and knowledgeable staff, Natalia, Ann and ‘the other’ Ann who will be pleased to serve youor offer advice as necessary.
The great news for us is that our Loyalty Cards are now available from the shop which offer real savings in these challenging times. Please ask for details.
