Buy Local Food Event at Buckland Abbey

Due to the success of the recent food & drink day at both Hatherleigh and Two Bridges, Food & Drink Devon will be hosting a third event, this time at Buckland Abbey near Yelverton. Over 40 local producers will have the opportunity to showcase their wares to the general public and to commercial buyers. Savour, taste, buy from the delicious range of tasty, local treats. Cookery demo's by local chefs, children's entertainment with grounds and trails open for free

The event is FREE to attend and takes place on Wednesday 17 February 2010 from 10.30-4.30, during half term week.

Talk to local producers about their products while you savour, taste or buy. The event offers a great opportunity for you to get to know where your food comes from and save on food miles by supporting local businesses.

There will be a wide variety of produce available including goats cheeses, tangy chutneys, preserves and delicious jams. Also on offer to tempt the palate will be home made breads, cakes and pastries, succulent sides of beef, pork, lamb and venison, superb homemade sausages, organic burgers, pates, pies and a hog roast. And what better way to round off a taste buds treat than by trying fruit cordials, apple juices, ciders, wine and beer.

The free event is open to both the public and commercial buyers, and will be especially useful for hotels, B&B’s and restaurants to source new products for their menus - 'Local Food' is what visitors to the region want to see on their menu. Come along and find something new, make some great contacts that may aid your business and enjoy the surroundings of Buckland Abbey.

The event is organised by Food & Drink Devon who offer business support and training opportunities to small scale local food and drink producers throughout Devon.
