'Customers are Key' Workshop

Food Drink Devon represents a membership of like minded businesses, dedicated to providing good quality local food & drink.Devon is made up of a patchwork of small fields, hedge banks, orchards, pastures and sheltered river valleys and has been producing food and drink for centuries. Buying local food and drink helps sustain that special link between landscape and its harvest. It helps support the stewardship of the countryside – the cycle of maintaining hedges, restoring orchards and providing a haven for wildlife as well as cutting down on emissions by reducing the carbon footprint.Our artisan producers boast a range of delicious food and drink from both land and sea which, with their individual microclimates, enhance the unique natural flavour. Our Hotels, restaurants, cafes and shops are dedicated to serving and selling this delightful produce.
