The Local Food Company operates from the edge of the Dartmoor National Park in the heart of Devon. The founders of the company were Dee and Simon Rooney who started the business in 2005.  In 2008 they sold the business to Nick and James Toms, local farming family.  The company is now based at Country Man's Choice Farm shop, at Ivybridge.

We are big enough to know what we're doing but still small enough to care. We ensure award winning service from working hard and being fair!

Pioneering the way
As one of the very first online local food retailers in the UK, specialising in local organic food, The Local Food Company have pioneered the way in online retail for small produers.

We are proving that it is possible to run a sustainable food business, bringing regional quality product to market with service and fairness as core values without public money or charging producers to sell their food for them. If you are thinking of setting up a local food business, we are happy to discuss franchising or our popular consultancy service with you.

Finally
The Beaten Track
The things that haven't been done before
Are the tasks worthwhile today;
Are you one of the flock that follows, or
Are you the one that shall lead the way?
Are you one of the timid souls that quail
At the jeers of a doubting crew,
Or dare you, whether win or fail,
Strike out for a goal that is new?
