In our town we have a well-known, prize winning biscuit factory and jam/chutney factory - but our local Co-Op will not stock either even though the factories are less than 1/2 mile away ??? ??? .  I should take up the cause... :-\ .
Mallows, treat yourself to a day out and come to Bridport Food Festival next year :yum: :yum: :yum: .

I LOVE Bridport...take my son crabbing to West Bay. Used to fish there too til they dragged the pier area and nothing to catch. Not even crabs! :o( Then we moved to Burton to fish!
 
In fact, I am going to make the effort to go down one weekend for a browse. I miss the place.

They say people have to live in Wales for four generations to be accepted as Welsh.  I think it's 60 days for lamb.  :-J

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
