• Who they are?

Fair Food works to link local food producers with local people so that they can buy directly and enjoy good quality and environmentally sensitive food, at prices fair to all. They  focus on producers within a 30 mile radius of Penrith and we work with what is available in that area, with the seasons and with the needs of our members.

Their aim is to support and enhance local communities and the local economy through increasing the use of sustainable local produce. It’s about an alternative to supermarkets rather than an alternative to local shops, which are able to carry little if any of the produce we supply.
 

• How do they work?

The scheme works by linking producers to individuals or to buying groups in workplaces, community centres or neighbourhoods. Members can then place an order for any of the products available on the website. The system is designed to allow a high level of flexibility in the quantity and frequency of the orders so that it can match member’s needs.

Their encourage  all members to place recurring orders – this really helps out the producers they are working with, by allowing them to plan ahead, but this is not obligatory. . The food is delivered weekly to the workplace or an agreed address at a specific time. They offer vegetables, eggs, meat and salad, plus special items such as strawberries in season, beer, preserves and cakes.
