An innovative food trail showcasing Shropshire's top quality food producers returns for a second year this summer.

The Shropshire Good Food Trail was launched last year by the Shropshire Good Food Partnership, and featured more than 50 venues growing, making, selling or serving the county’s finest and most sustainably produced food.

Now the SGFP is expanding the trail to showcase more members and promote the theme of Shropshire’s abundance.

Daphne Du Cros of the Shropshire Good Food Partnership said the first food trail had been very successful with excellent feedback from everyone involved.

“We’re planning to make the 2024 food trail even bigger and better. We want the public to know and celebrate what is produced just on their doorstep."

The partnership is now looking for new producers as well as sponsors to support the trail and highlight Shropshire’s Good Food Movement.

New producers interested in registering for the 2024 trail can complete an application form at www.shropshiregoodfoodtrail.org or email hello@shropshiregoodfood.org. New members will be featured on the 2024 trail map and guide as well as being included on the growing Shropshire Good Food Partnership directory The partnership is also looking for new sponsors – “If you have a business that believes in a better food system and want to sponsor the Shropshire Good Food Trail, please get in touch at hello@shropshiregoodfood.org,” said Ms Du Cros.

This year’s trail will run throughout the summer from Saturday, July 20 to Saturday, August 31.
