A new edition of the West Cornwall local food directory which helps celebrate local food and boost sales for producers across the region. It was launched simultaneously on Easter Saturday in both Penzance (at the Green Fair) and Helston (at the grand re-opening of the Farmers Market).

Copies will be available via local businesses and at libraries.

The ‘new look’ directory was produced by students from Helston College, teacher Gavin Bloor commented, “Working on the food guide has been a great opportunity for our Year 12 Btec art and design students to gain invaluable experience of a real life design and print situation. The students worked together as a fantastic team and have produced a very professional set of illustrations, which have been combined into a great looking guide.”

Information in the directory is also now available free online – www.westcornwallfood.org.uk – and is designed as a marketing tool to help local producers better connect with their community and potential customers. Local food producers are encouraged to register on the online directory, which covers the whole of West Cornwall, giving all local producers and businesses the opportunity to market themselves for free.
