Introduction Thank you for picking up your copy of the Moyle Local Produce Directory.
Managed by Moyle District Council’s Cultural Tourism Programme, the Menu of Moyle initiative strives to develop and promote the quality local produce of the Moyle area. There are many benefits to be gained from buying and using local produce as an alternative to mass-produced and imported goods, so please read on to see how you too can benefit from supporting your local producers.
Why Buy Local? By buying ‘local’ we will directly support and encourage our rural economy in Moyle. We will not only help create a greater sense of pride in our community and in what we can achieve, but we will also benefit our environment (and our pockets!) by reducing the number of food miles and transport emissions we make. And with our increased use of fresh, traceable produce everyday, we all move towards enjoying healthier lifestyles.
This Moyle Local Produce Directory has been compiled to help you find out more about the local producers we have in the Moyle area. Included are bakers, confectioners, meat and seafood producers, vegetable and herb growers, as well as beverage and egg producers. Although we have worked hard to find as many producers as we can in the Moyle area, the information in this directory outlines only those we were able to source and those who agreed to take part. If you know of any other producers who might like to join Menu of Moyle please let us know - we would be delighted to include them in the future.
The Menu of Moyle Competition The district-wide Menu of Moyle Competition runs annually from May to August in many eating establishments across the district. Competing chefs are encouraged to create their own authentic ‘Menu of Moyle’ by using as much local produce as possible. They offer dishes that represent the essence of the Moyle area, its produce and its traditions, so when you choose to dine in a participating ‘Menu of Moyle’ restaurant, hotel, coffee shop, brasserie or pub, you can expect a truly enjoyable, local dining experience whilst supporting your local producers.
Thank you for supporting your Local Moyle Producer! Our Local Producers
