Working together to promote local food and drink

Next month will see the second meeting of a group aimed at promoting Northamptonshire's food and drink. 'Made in Northamptonshire' was launched in January with an event held at Beckworth Emporium. The group was set up by Rachel Mallows, of the Mallows Group, who hoped that the group would allow local producers, chefs, and venues to "support each other and work together to enhance what they do!"

‘Made in Northamptonshire’ is aimed at:

• producers wishing to find new markets and to work collaboratively
• retail outlets wanting to sell the ‘best of Northamptonshire’
• chefs and eateries looking to source good local produce
• county food and drink businesses which support local business
• people who love the ‘buy local’ philosophy

The next meeting will take place on 3rd March, as part of the Northamptonshire Tourism Forum at the Kettering Park Hotel.

In many ways, the group has been formed out of the same ethos as the Northamptonshire Ambassadors. Adam is one of the ambassadors and proud of it, as it gives him a chance to talk about the county he loves.
