Where possible in this remote area we try to:

• Use locally sourced produce to cut down on food miles.
• Cook fresh & seasonally ñ this reduces processing, additives & cost.
• Be wary of the cheapest ñ it may be costing ìthe earthî.
• Avoid supermarkets ñ their ethics on many levels are poor.
• Support our local producers so we donít lose them.
• Buy in bulk to reduce packaging.
• Buy Organic when available ñ Soil Association standards.
• Choose Fair Trade products with unavoidable imported produce such as tea & coffee.
• Where we have a choice, choose the produce which has the highest level of animal welfare - RSPCA & Freedom Foods.
• Minimise waste with careful planning & composting.
