Welcome to The New Forest Food Challenge
This is a New Forest Transition community project. We're aiming to support local producers and farmers, get more people growing their own food and add strength to local communities. For more info click here
We have started to map as many local producers as we can: bee keepers, shops, cheese makers, egg sellers, makers of jams and chutneys etc.. Please take a look at our map, and help your local food suppliers.
If you're new to this kind of site click here for info on how to get started
