Note that we have made use of symbols / abbreviations to assist you should you be looking for a particular category of food or business. However, we recommend you read the full description in order to appreciate the full range and diversity of what businesses offer.
The format of each entry is as follows:
- Business name
- Address and contact details
- A description of what makes the business special
- Symbols denoting type of business, as follows:
 Primary Producer Farmer / grower, where the product is grown / reared locally (for example meat, vegetables) and must be available direct from the producer or through local outlets. Some processing may be involved. |
|
 Secondary Producer – Manufacturer / processor, where the final product arises from a significant level of processing, but at least one of the ingredients is grown or reared within the defined area (for example pickles, jams, meat products). The final product must be available direct from the producer or through local outlets. |
Producers will also have one or more of these three codes appended:
 On-site sales products available from producer’s address, subject to hours of opening etc. |

 Off-site sales via other outlets |
|
