Boyne Valley Flavour’s Producers Open for Business
Local food producers across the region are open for business and it is more important than ever to support them, that’s the message from Boyne Valley Flavours, an initiative set up to promote locally made produce.
With the almost complete shutdown of the hospitality industry many producers are really struggling but you can still support them.
As we are all coming to terms with life under the constraints of COVID 19 we are adapting and getting used to new ways of living, new ways to work, new ways to communicate and new ways to shop.
Of course, online retail deliveries have been around for a long time, but did you know a lot of local independent producers also offer online shopping options, take orders over the phone or offer collections (adhering to all safety measures)
See below a list of producers in the Boyne Valley region (Meath/Louth) who offer are still open for business.
