Dartmoors Local Produce
Moorlander is dedicated to the local land and its producers of local produce. We believe passionately that in buying locally we are doing the right thing, both for our health, our local community and the environment.
We all sometimes found ourselves drawn to the bright lights of the ‘one stop shop’ supermarkets, because of price and choise. We understand that not everything can be produced on our doorstep, but we believe people should have the opportunity to buy a whole range of local & ethical produce at their doorstep, so we also believe in supporting our local shops. We all depend on our community that is closest to home, and surely it makes sense to support local businesses who will in turn re-invest back in to the local economy.
