Reducing food miles, looking for something bespoke or artisan – or simply wanting to support makers and local companies at a time when they need it: whatever your reason Cornwall’s Food and Drink industry is beginning to blossom again.

Entrepreneurs have also taken the leap to creating new businesses using their restricted time to fulfil lifelong dreams.
