Fruit I
f ever there was a county that
gets its five-a-day, it’s Dorset. A
mild climate, a fair share of rain and
easily-cultivated, freely-draining soils
produce plentiful fruit and veg.
The best way to get your hands
on it? Go beyond the supermarket’s
air-freighted selection and buy from
markets and farm shops. Or get it
delivered every week in a veg box.
Eating seasonally not only connects
you with local farmers and reduces
environmental impact, it will save you
money and get you tastier food.
Eating your greens is a healthier
choice that every food lover can get
behind and our top chefs now pride
themselves on what they do with
vegetarian dishes that are often the
stars of the menu. There is satisfaction
in sourcing produce locally from
growers and farmers who care about
quality and the results can be tasted in
restaurants across the county.
