We try to use as many small local suppliers as possible. Not only does this mean you get access to unique produce that's made with care and pride but it also helps to reduce the time and distance that the food travels to get to your plate. This makes sense in terms of offering you goods which are as fresh and nutritious as possible and it also helps to keep costs down.
If you want to know more about any of our suppliers then please email us or phone to speak to a member of staff.
We're big believers in supporting small farmers and the local economy. If you or anyone you know would be interested in supplying the Wild Star Food Co. then please contact us.
