- All our meat is bought from the local butcher rather than a big supermarket.
- Vegetables are grown in the vegetable patch
- Eggs were gifted by a nearby turkey farm

Local food creates a sense of community and connection. Like most mammals, humans are social creates and crave this connectivity. Yet it would seem that in our increasingly isolated, digital world loneliness is becoming a growing problem; supporting local suppliers could help this!
