Myself and my husband and daughter are taking part in a challenge based in Framlingham, Suffolk, to only eat local food during September 2011. The group promoting the challenge Greener Fram www.greenerfram.co.uk are a local Transition Town group and are looking at ways to reduce our dependence on oil. The rules of the challenge are simple. You must only eat food grown within a 30 mile radius of your home for the 30 days of September. The exceptions to this are 3 items chosen before the challenge starts, one of mine being tea, essential!

Sourcing local food

Sourcing local foods
One of the challenges will be to source all this local food without travelling miles to get it. I believe it can be done as I have not gone further than Hacheston as yet and my kitchen looks quite healthy! The list below is not exhaustive, there are many more places to get local food but it is a very good start.
  • The Market in Framlingham on a Tuesday/Saturday for vegetables, fruit, cheese, rape seed oil, meat, fish and more
  • Hall Farm Butchers, Framlingham
  • Leos Deli has some cheeses, honey and more
  • The Co-Op has a great range of local food
  • Friday Street, on A12 on turning to Snape
  • Alder Carr Farm, Needham Market
  • The Railway Farm Shop, Sternfield, near Saxmundham
  • Emmerdale Farm, Dunwich Road off the A12
  • Farm Cafe and shop at Marlesford on the A12
  • Garnetts Farm shop, Hacheston (stocks local flour)
  • Country Market. 9.15am-11am at the United free Church, Framlingham
  • Huttons Butchers, Earl Soham
  • Eat Anglia, Earl Soham
  • Creaseys Butchers, Peasenhall
  • Clarkes Butchers, Bramfield
