Local Food

local foodEn-form is big on backing local food! Shopping locally for local produce has a wealth of benefits that are in keeping with a more eco way of life.

Benefits of buying local produce:

  • Fewer food miles = less carbon consumed in the transportation
  • Helps to encourage a sustainable environment
  • Supports the local economy

As part of our campaign to support local food producers, we run Farmers’ Markets in Colchester and Wivenhoe, but we are also here to help the people of Essex make better informed decisions about where they shop, and what they buy.
