What is this directory about?
This directory has details of suppliers, wholesalers, foodservice providers and farms from in and around Camden who can supply healthy, fresh, seasonal produce on a scale according to your needs – whether you organise occasional office meetings, own a chain of restaurants, or something in between.
Please refer to Your guide to Good Food in Camden www.camden.gov.uk/food to find out more about how and why to choose Good Food for your organisation.
Where the directory refers to local produce, this means produce that is grown, reared or caught within 100 miles of London. We have indicated how the suppliers and producers are sustainable with an:
‘F’ for Fairtrade. Fairtrade is an internationally recognised approach to trading which aims to ensure producers in poor countries get a fair deal. A fair deal includes a fair price for goods and services, decent working conditions, and a commitment from buyers so that there is reasonable security for the producers.
‘O’ for organic. This is produce that is grown free from pesticides and artificial chemical fertilisers; free from animal cruelty and free from genetically modified (GM) animal feed.
‘S’ for seasonal. This is a supplier that sells produce that is grown and then sold as fresh, within the season it naturally grows in the UK.
You will also see reference to food being ‘traceable’. This means the supplier or grower can, on request, tell the purchaser exactly where the food was grown, reared or caught.
This directory forms part of the development of a healthy and sustainable food programme for Camden. It was commissioned and funded by NHS Camden, working in partnership with Camden Council.
Disclaimer This directory is intended as a guide only. It is not intended as an inclusive list and nothing within these pages is intended to imply that these businesses are recommended or approved by NHS Camden, Camden Council or Sustain. Whilst efforts have been made to ensure all the information is correct, no responsibility is accepted in the unlikely event that any of the information is flawed. All descriptions come from the supplier’s website – they are not the words of NHS Camden, Camden Council or Sustain. If you would like your business’s details to be updated or considered for insertion into the directory, please email your details including full address, postcode and telephone number to [email protected]

Direct from the farm
The businesses listed in this section are predominantly South East England farms selling produce direct from the farm. Some of them are 'hubs' who work cooperatively with a number of farms in close proximity to them (hubs are marked with a * below). This arrangement has environmental benefits such as shared deliveries that means less vehicle movements and less pollution.
Contact details and more information about each farm are provided below.

Farmers' markets in and around Camden
Farmers' market stalls are often a shop window for a much larger, though still sustainable operation. The produce on sale must be reared, caught or bottled on the stallholders’ premises and come from within 100 miles of London. As a food buyer for an organisation it is worth talking to the stallholder to see if they can supply your business directly.
