The county are proud of their reputation for producing the finest quality food in the country therefore creating a platform that will allow buyers to acquire good from a number of different suppliers is a great way to spread more of their produce even further.
A group of local suppliers joined together in order to come up with the business which has been created in order to have a shared interest and ambition of generating funds by working together. The funds that are raised by the suppliers joining together will be spent locally in order to further improve the prospects for the business.
