Empowering local people and supporting our economy

Revitalising Rural Economies

Supporting local, small-scale farms and independent food and drink producers across Somerset, sustaining existing employment and creating new jobs for local people.

Supporting Communities

Providing a friendly home delivery service to our communities across Somerset, including complete meals made with locally sourced ingredients which supports our elders to continue living independently.

Promoting Health and Well-being

Creating the opportunity for therapeutic growing projects to raise funding through the sale of fresh produce, and bringing people together around food to build communities and reduce isolation.

Protecting the Natural Environment

Promoting ecological growing and farming methods that improve soil quality and increase biodiversity to protect the natural environment and mitigate the impact of climate change.

Help support our new initiative

Ready to Heat Meals Service

In partnership with Dartmoor Cottage Kitchen, we have introduced a range of affordable frozen Ready to Heat Meals made with fresh, local produce, which are the perfect easy dinner for busy people and those living alone.

Delivered by our friendly drivers, who will help unpack your groceries, you can now have a complete cooked dinner in just 3 minutes! We also provide all the other basics someone might need, including locally made bread, butter, milk, eggs and so much more

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

Gluten Free Gourmet

Gluten Free Gourmet was started 2014 and is an award winning family grown business, rooted in Wells but now with a kitchen and shop/cafe in Glastonbury. Mandy is rightly proud of the business she has built:

“Our food is always 100% Gluten/wheat free with plenty of dairy free and vegan options. Our kitchen is gluten free and we never cross contaminate . We have become a well know and trusted name in Somerset and further afield, and in 2018 we won a silver gilt award for our street food making us one of the top two in the country.”

Now with a kitchen in Glastonbury we are able to collect their produce straight from their ovens and deliver direct to your door, but if you are visiting the town don’t forget to pop into their shop/cafe, the Pie and Tart in the Gauntlet shopping centre!
