The Taste of North Somerset local food partnership meets regulalrly to develop the local food market. The aim of the partnership is for North Somerset to have a thriving local food economy, to which everyone has access to good quality, healthy food that has been produced locally. The partnership brings together local producers, wholesalers, distributors, consumers and support organisations.
The partnership has developed two farmers markets (Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare) and is in the process of launching two more in Nailsea and Portishead in 2008.

The Taste of North Somerset also produces a local food directory. The directory is free and can be picked up at local services, such as libraries and doctors surgeries, or by calling 01275 888504, or email sustainability@n-somerset.gov.uk. It is also available on line...
The directory lists where in North Somerset you can buy local food, and also gives useful information such as seasonality of produce, an interpretation of food labels and reasons to buy locally produced food.
