| Reasons
to Support Farm Shops
Where does the food we buy come from and how is it produced? Consumers are increasingly demanding higher quality and greater diversity in the food they buy. Farmers need to grasp the opportunities this offers to add value to their products. This can be done through both branding products to promote and strengthen their local or regional identity, promoting the importance of a clean and healthy environment for the quality of the product and finding new markets or uses for existing products. Selling direct to consumers is one way of doing this and is becoming increasingly popular and successful through farmers' markets (there are now over 300 up and running throughout the country). Other approaches include farm shops, organic box schemes and postal and internet sales. CPRE is a national charity which helps people to protect their local countryside where there is a threat, to enhance it where there is opportunity, and to keep it beautiful, productive and enjoyable for everyone.
