Welcome to CPRE Cheshire's local food pages

Local food has not travelled far, cutting the food miles and likely to be much fresher.
Packaging is usually minimal, so it’s better for the environment.
You know exactly where the food has come from and can be confident about its quality and traceability.
Food in season is cheaper and, possibly the most important benefit for many
Local food, produced by small producers and farmers, frequently tastes much better with great textures and aromas
