Where to buy the best of the Brecks
The purpose of this leaflet is to encourage visitors, residents and businesses to buy local food,
drink, arts and crafts. We want you to enjoy and celebrate the unique range of products the
Brecks has to offer.
Included in this leaflet are places to buy and eat locally farmed and harvested crops, varying
from asparagus to apples and blueberries, as well as fine organic meat, fish, poultry and
cheese. There are also locally produced apple juices, wines and ales.
The Brecks has also inspired many award winning artists to create a variety of arts and crafts
from a selection of materials ranging from ceramics to wood sculpture. Arts and crafts are a
part of our natural resources, as they interpret the landscape and environment whilst also
utilising the natural materials available.
Buying locally boosts the economy of businesses and communities; the produce travels less
thus reducing pollution; meaning the product is fresher for you, and you can often speak to
the producer directly which ensures you get a better service.
We hope you will share in our enthusiasm for the Brecks and delight in its distinctiveness
through buying local products. To enjoy the best of Brecks produce you can contact a
producer from the list or visit one of the websites listed in this booklet for further information.
Details of seasonal produce and how buying local produce can benefit you and the
community can be found online at www.brecks.org and www.keystonetrust.org.uk
Eleven tourism businesses in the Brecks have
achieved the Green Tourism Business Scheme
Award (ranging from Gold to Bronze), they
have been assessed on their environmentally
sustainable practices, an element of which is
their use local of produce.
