Corporate Partner

The Southern Co-operative
"We became a Corporate Partner of Hampshire Fare in 2009, and are delighted to be working in partnership. Working with Hampshire Fare has provided The Southern Co-operative with some fantastic opportunities to work with a diverse, talented range of local producers - creating excitement about Hampshire food, and communicating the importance of supporting our local producers".

The issues of food provenance and development of local sustainability have increased both in profile and national importance over the last few years.

The Southern Co-operative has been trading in Hampshire since 1873, and now operates over 130 community stores in southern England.

As a a local food retailer we believe we have a part to play in raising awareness about where our food comes from and its wider implications for rural and economic sustainability.

We are passionate about both the provision of high quality food in our stores, and how we can contribute to the communities we live and trade in.

Working with local food producers enables our business to fulfill the commitment to quality food, and actively put something back into the local economy.
