I Love Manx is reminding all producers and sellers of Manx made food and drink that the deadline for inclusion in the 2010 ‘Your Guide to Manx Produce’ is Friday 20th November.
The guide provides details of farmers’ markets, farm shops and retail outlets across the Isle of Man, as well as details of other local independent suppliers of Manx produce as well as the main processors of Manx food and drink.
This year sees the addition of eateries on the Island that support Manx produce.
Also included is a seasonal month-by-month guide to Manx fruit and vegetables, game, seafood and meat to help consumers eat with the Manx seasons; enjoying the diversity of fresh tastes with minimal food miles.
The guide, now in its third year, has expanded with each reprint as the demand for Manx food has increased with consumer desire for produce from top quality, fully traceable, local sources.
Once more, Your Guide to Manx Produce has been endorsed by the The Hairy Bikers, who are amongst the most enthusiastic supporters of Manx food and drink, as demonstrated by their appearances at the Queenie Festival and Septembers' Food and Drink Festival at the Villa Marina.
Entry in the guide is freee (subject to the conditions on the entry form).
Anyone interested in being included should simply download an entry form from www.ilovemanx.org or phone 662204 for a copy and return it to DAFF using the address at the bottom of the form by the deadline of Friday 20th November.
I Love Manx Campaign is a joint initiative of the Manx National Farmers’ Union and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
