Why supporting local food producers really matters.

(And how your choices make a difference)

When you visit a farmers’ market, food festival or small producer’s online shop, you’re doing more than picking up something delicious, you’re becoming part of a much bigger story.

At The Lincolnshire Drizzle Company, we’re lucky to meet so many of you face-to-face at food festivals and events. And one thing is clear: people genuinely care about where their food comes from, how it’s made, and who it supports.

Local Food Is Having a Moment & For Good Reason

More people than ever are choosing to buy local. Spending on locally produced food has grown significantly over the past decade, driven by a desire for better quality, transparency and connection to British farming.

And it’s not just a feel-good choice — it has real impact.

Money spent with local food producers stays closer to home, supporting farmers, growers and small businesses, and helping to keep skills, jobs and traditions alive in rural communities.

When you choose brands like ours, you’re directly supporting:

• British farmers and producers

• Shorter, more transparent supply chains

• Food made with care, not shortcuts

Why This Matters to Us

Our products start with cold-pressed British rapeseed oil, grown and produced here in the UK. From there, we focus on simple, real ingredients and bold flavour combinations that help make everyday meals taste better, especially vegetables.

We believe great food doesn’t need to be complicated. And it certainly doesn’t need to travel halfway around the world to be exciting.

By keeping our supply chain close to home and working with trusted British producers, we can:

• Maintain quality and freshness

• Stay true to our artisan roots

• Create food that reflects where it comes from

  
  

Your Purchase Has Power

Whether you’re picking up a bottle of drizzle at a festival stand or ordering online, your choice helps sustain a food system that values:

• Taste over mass production

• Real ingredients over ultra-processing

• People and provenance over volume

  
  

It also helps small brands like ours keep doing what we love; showing up at local events, sharing recipe inspiration, and creating products that make healthier, flavour-led eating easier and more enjoyable.

Eating Well, Supporting Well

Supporting local food doesn’t mean giving anything up. In fact, it usually means gaining more; more flavour, more connection, and more confidence in what’s on your plate.

So next time you drizzle, dress or marinate with one of our products, know that you’re not just upgrading your meal, you’re supporting British food producers and farming, one delicious choice at a time.

And for that, we’re genuinely grateful.
