Local Food and Drink and our Environment

Want fresh vegetables harvested this morning, meat from the farmer up the road or a present commissioned from a local craftsperson? Then this is the website for you. Transition Town Shrewsbury (www.transitiontownshrewsbury.org.uk) is bringing together information about small local sustainable businesses on one website for customers to search and "Buy Local". The range will grow but it already includes food, drink, plants, arts & crafts and businesses committed to sustainability. Most are within 30 miles of Shrewsbury.

Our aims include narrowing the gap between producers, processors and customers and giving customers the choice to "Buy Local". Buying local strengthens Shrewsbury's economy, promotes the maintenance and spread of skills & knowledge and retains & develops jobs.

Spring starts us thinking of growing things and sprucing up the home. Look out for potato and seed fairs and search the site for plants & herbs and for ideas to brighten the home up.
