North Devon - The Future is Sweet.. or Savoury!

New Food & Drink Network for North Devon

Are you a North Devon business that either produces or sells food and drink? If so, you might be interested to hear that there is now a North Devon Food and Drink Network, which aims to promote and develop businesses like yours.

We want to unite businesses in the area to encourage the use of local products and help increase sales.

This initiative intends to:

Market products across Devon and indeed nationwide
Provide expert help and signpost to other support services that exist
Link these food and drink businesses into a mutually supportive network
Make it easy for the buyers, in order to encourage new markets.

There are lots of reasons to buy good, local food, so let’s put North Devon on the map with the best Devon has to offer!

Our environment, heritage and provenance mean that we have many top quality products and with tourism research demonstrating that people come to this area purely as a “foodie” destination, we have everything to play for!

Areas of North Devon have already had success with establishing brands renowned for high quality, and we will be working alongside these groups to add value wherever we can.

This network is YOUR network, we will be consulting with businesses so please contact us in order to have your say:
