Feed your passions

As canoeists, cavers, climbers, hang gliding and para-gliding pilots, hill-walkers, or mountain bikers we actively seek areas of high quality landscapes in pursuit of our interests. We depend on good relationships with local people, landowners and farmers to protect, maintain and improve the landscape and provide the infrastructure we need for a quality experience; accommodation, cafes, pubs and shops.

One way we can help is to use these facilities and provide income to the local economy. We can increase the value of this support by buying local produce (see; What is local), or supporting businesses themselves which buy local produce, for example buying meals which include locally grown or reared ingredients. By doing this we support farming practices that contribute to preserving the landscape and help to keep money in the local economy providing greater stability (see; local spend helps).

On this site we provide you detailed information on:
• Local food suppliers in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
• How to access information on local food in other areas of the country.
• Where you can get more information on local food and produce initiatives

So by Feeding your Passions you are helping:
• The retention of landscape characteristics and biodiversity that draw tourists and visitors to the area.
• The rebuilding of the local economy, by ensuring that money spent locally is retained to the benefit of local people.
• To retain flourishing rural communities. People judge their worth through their work and when self-confidence is high share it with others, including visitors.
