BFFD is being shaped by a growing network of people who care about making British food easier to find, understand and support.
We work with farmers, farm shops, farmers markets, growers, specialist food producers, chefs, creators, communities and organisations across the UK. Behind the platform is also a team of professionals working across digital marketing, SEO, web development, content, design, research and community outreach.
Together, these different perspectives are helping BFFD become a trusted national platform for discovering local food, supporting British producers and strengthening the connection between people and the food produced around them.
Projects, research and initiatives created to help people discover British food, understand local food production and support independent producers.
Meet the organisations, businesses, creators and specialists helping BFFD grow and improve the information available to our community.
From farmers and growers to chefs, retailers, creators and hospitality businesses, discover the different people and industries BFFD works alongside.
BFFD supports the communities that keep local food alive: allotments, farmers markets, home growers, farming communities and local food projects.
British food is supported by thousands of people working across farming, growing, food production, retail, hospitality and local communities.
Each brings a different perspective.
Understand production and the realities of growing and raising food.
Butchers, bakers, cheesemakers and cider makers understand their individual crafts.
Understand what local customers are looking for.
Understand how ingredients perform in professional kitchens.
Help share stories and knowledge that connect food to a wider audience.
Understand the places, people and traditions that keep local food connected to everyday life.
BFFD works across the wider British food system, helping connect the people producing food with the people buying, preparing, promoting and supporting it.

Our partnerships help us improve the information available through BFFD, reach new audiences and bring additional experience and knowledge into the platform.
Good information about British food often exists in many different places.
A farmer may understand production. A butcher understands sourcing and cuts. A cheesemaker understands milk and maturation. A grower understands soil, varieties and harvesting. A chef understands ingredients in the kitchen.
Each perspective contributes something different.
As BFFD grows, we want our guides, directory and research to increasingly reflect information supplied by the people actually producing, preparing, selling and supporting British food.
