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.
