Help us get to our funding target

We know it is hard to live an independent life in rural communities, especially with the closure of village shops and cuts in public transport.

We are already supporting people to remain independent in their own homes by providing a range of complete ready-to-heat meals in addition to grocery essentials. But, to expand this service, we need an additional delivery van so we can reach more people.

We are owned by our local community and you can help us raise the funds we need by becoming a shareholder in Somerset Local Food. Just click the ‘Find Out More’ button which will take you to our share offer page.

Producer Spotlight

Somerset Charcuterie

Andy & James have been hobby charcutiers for several years. Andy grew up on a pig farm and James is a member of a small village cooperative of 6 families who raise livestock. Their daughters become best friends at the local school and it wasn’t long before they discovered that they shared passion for curing meats and making salami.

Over a pint of cider at a local lawn-mower race (this is Somerset!), the idea for a quality British Charcuterie business was conceived. Both of them have run their own food businesses for several years and could see an opportunity to develop a range of products that followed traditional Spanish, French and Italian methods but were adapted to the British market and capitalised on the rich food culture of the South West.
