The benefits of buying local are gradually becoming better understood. The Bath Life shop is trying to help this process by linking local readers of magazines to local producers. We are going further than just food because we believe that wherever possible buying local makes sense not just for food but for lots of other products that we buy every day. By spending our money locally we can help to create a thriving local community that benefits us all.

We have assembled a collection of interesting articles and links that will let you know a little more about why we think buying local is so important. The first is a link to the Farmers Weekly Campaign...Local Food is Miles Better. It offers comprehensive facts and figures about the real benefits and how you are helping.
