independents day....

Today saw the launch of Bristol Independents, a new campaign to keep Bristol's high streets alive and highlight the city's diverse independent retailers.

Whiteladies Road, Clifton Bristol Independents


As part of the launch, Bristol's Lord Mayor, Geoffrey Gollop, visited Whiteladies Road to meet independent retailers and market traders, including Greenbaskets! Here's the Lord and Lady Mayoress visiting the stall.




To celebrate buying ingredients locally, a recipe for Whiteladies Stir Fry has been created. As well as the farmers' market, ingredients for the stir fry can be bought from some of Whiteladies best known independent retailers, including:
Sheepdrove butchers, organic family butchers shop selling meat from Sheepdrove Farm in Berkshire.
Wild Oats, an eco-friendly shop for food-conscious shoppers.
Earthbound, a local organic shop with a Bristol-wide following.
Better Food Company, longstanding Bristol favourite.



So buy something from your local independent retailer and join the campaign to save our high streets....
