Our Producers

Our Producers

Most of the products on the Stroudco website are grown or produced within Stroud district, or within a 30-mile radius of Stroud. 

Producers who deal with us match and share our values of buying local produce where possible, keeping our environmental footprint tiny, caring husbandry of animals, and connecting the local food economy.

Where grocery basics, such as pulses or rice, cannot be sourced locally, we obtain them from local suppliers who match our other values.

Whilst some of our suppliers are available on our shopfront all year round, others are limited to particular seasons/stock.
