Adventures in Local Food

A busy market filled with local, sustainable food. At the front of the photo is a table piled with tomatoes and green beans. A women wearing a red coat and a headscarf is walking away from the camera.

Discover Better Food Along the Way

Discovering the local cheese, the freshest salad and the tastiest artisan bread is always the highlight of a holiday, whether abroad or here in the UK.  This summer, your holiday route and destination are full of brilliant local food. You just need to know where to look. Because it’s not just what you buy, it’s where you buy it.

The Better Food Traders map below shows you independent shops, bakeries, farm stalls, market traders, veg box schemes and local producers all along your route.

Every one of them is committed to nature-friendly farming, creating good jobs, and bringing you closer to the people who grow and make your food.

Why it matters?

Spending a little of your holiday money with a Better Food Trader goes a long way. Your support keeps money circulating in local economies creating thriving high streets, a healthier planet, and better conditions for the people producing your food. Find out more about ‘what better means’ here.
