We stock the shop with a wide variety of fruit and veg, as locally sourced as possible so we support our neighbouring producers. Where we can’t buy it locally we seek to buy it ethically. We are meeting your demands – told to us through over 250 survey responses – providing you with the local farm shop you wanted and desperately need.
What do you get shopping locally?
If you buy local foods you gain:
- Access to locally made foods and treats which can’t be found in supermarkets worldwide.
- Better for the environment. Foods which have only come from a few miles away, even a few steps away. Less miles, less waste.
- Lower food waste, foods are harvested fresh, on that day and on demand.
- Less packaging. Freshly made and freshly picked means longer shelf life with only a little plastic packaging. Most of our fresh food is packaged in recycled paper bags.
- Better for you and the world around. Often our foods are organic, pesticide free and our freshly made foods are free from additives, colourings and preservatives and made from basic ingredients.
- Connect with and support your community. Actually see where your food is from, learn about and support the suppliers and take part.
Volunteers Welcome
Not just content with shopping and fancy a challenge? We have an amazing team here in Blas Lôn Las of community volunteers but we are looking for new friends to make this a truly community shop where local people can learn new skills, meet new people and have a great time working with us. That way we can open for longer and meet everyone out there. Join our wonderful team of volunteers and have a great time. All levels of experience are welcome and we’re really happy to train you up!
If you’re interested in the shop, selling or buying from us or what to be a volunteer, get in touch on 01248 602 793 or email us directly.
We support a wide range of suppliers and retailers, local farms and small producers.
