The average food item on a UK supermarket shelf has travelled over 1,500 miles to reach you. Supermarket cheese averages around 350 miles. Supermarket lamb averages 3,200 miles. A local Warwickshire producer is typically under 15 miles from your door.
Warwickshire stretches from the former coalfields of the north through the rolling countryside of the Feldon to the Cotswold fringe in the south. This diversity of landscape supports an equally diverse food culture, from the market towns of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, and Leamington Spa to the quieter villages where farm shops and producers operate from converted barns and farmhouse kitchens.
The county has a long tradition of food markets, farm shops, and direct-to-customer sales. Farmers Fayre, Cobbs, Hillers, Malt Kiln, and East Chase are just some of the farm shops that anchor their communities, stocking produce from farms often within sight of the shop itself. Warwickshire also hosts regular farmers markets across its towns, connecting producers and consumers face to face.
We are expanding county by county across the UK. If you know a Warwickshire producer we have not listed yet, let us know.
