Buying local in Cornwall

We’re passionate about supporting local producers. Cornwall grows, rears, catches, bakes and brews some of the best food and drink in the world, and we think that buying local and connecting with Cornish producers gives you a more enriching holiday experience. So get down to the farm shop, the local deli, the fishmongers, the cidery — wherever you’re staying, you won’t be far from fresh produce, usually far more sustainable and tastier than anything you can get in the supermarket. Buying local also means minimal food miles, less packaging, and helps ensure more money gets back into the pockets of farmers, fishermen, and all the other hard working food producers in Cornwall.
