If you’re interested in where what you put on your plate comes from, then Norfolk is a great for food shopping. The proximity of the sea, a rich farming history and an increased interest in being able to trace locally produced ingredients makes Norfolk a good place to source fantastic ingredients.

It is easy to buy meat, fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables and fruit all produced within the county. Here are some of the places we think you will find interesting.
