shropshirelive.com reporter Chris Pritchard recently headed along the A49 to Bromfield near Ludlow to find out about the Ludlow Food Centre.
The centre sources 80% of its products from local suppliers with 50% of their products being made on the premises.
Many of us are becoming more conscious of where our food comes from, the question of how fresh is the product and how many miles it has traveled is something more of us are asking ourselves.
How would you like to purchase your food knowing it’s local and watch fresh produce being made? That’s what you can do if you visit The Ludlow Food Centre on the A49 at Bromfield near Ludlow.
The Ludlow Food Centre is a unique food shopping experience where farming, food production and retailing infuse together to create a very special environment. The centre is part of the Earl of Plymouth’s Oakly Park Estate which extends to approximately 8000 acres of Shropshire countryside. All beef, lamb and Gloucester Old Spot pork comes from the estate along with a selection of game and vegetables.
The centre is passionate about local food which is why 80% of the food they sell comes from Shropshire and the surrounding counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Powys. These counties, which are represented by the diamond logo, produce an abundance of fresh, seasonal food that is full of flavour and is some of the best in the world.
The Food Centre is designed to not only sell food but to produce it and 50% of their products are made on the premises in kitchen units that surround the food hall. These are visible through glass windows that allow you to see the artisan producers actually making your food.
