Grown. Produced. Made.
Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have a natural local larder, one we’d argue is as good as any other across the British Isles.
A close community of producers, farmers, foragers, chefs, pubs, hotels, and businesses make the very most of it.
It’s our job to support them in that.
Established more than three decades ago, Hampshire Fare now has more than 350 members, a community of like-minded people who often share opportunities and face challenges together.
We host member events, which are opportunities to start conversations and to learn from each other. We ensure the membership’s voice is heard, both locally and nationally. We offer training and specialist advice.
Members often have shared values -—quality, provenance, ecology and sustainability. One learns from the next, and they’re all willing to share.
Importantly, our role is to promote our amazing members to food, drink and artisan fans both regionally and across the UK, to support the membership commercially.
Grown. Produced. Made.
Building strong connections within the local area, Hampshire Fare brings together local producers, retailers, and residents to support and celebrate regional food and drink.
Committed to high standards, Hampshire Fare ensures that every product and service reflects excellence, from taste to ethical sourcing, giving consumers trust in every choice.

By creating partnerships across sectors, Hampshire Fare creates opportunities for local businesses to grow together, nurturing a network where ideas, resources, and support are freely shared.
