Hiya, does anyone have any ideas for a snappy title for a month long promotional campaign within a local newspaper? It will be promoting the buying of local ethically produced food from farmer's markets, farm shops and direct from the producers, and we will be challenging our readers to buy food from these places instead of their supermarket, and write in with their experiences. Obviously we don't want anything confrontational with the supermarkets, as they do advertise with us, however we're keen to promote our local producers. Hopefully the editorial will back up the findings from things that have been happening on TV lately such as the Supermarket Secrets programme and Jamie's School Dinners.

I won't pretend there isn't a commercial aspect to this, as we will be selling advertising space to the producers that want to take part, however from my personal point of view if we can encourage people to buy locally and increase the trade to these outlets then it can only be for the good.

Please can you help? We thought of "shop local" but realised that it could be construed as not food related. All ideas gratefully received!

You lot are great. I'd thought of "Eat Anglia" and we're hoping to get some kind of sponsorship from Tastes of Anglia, but I like your title suggestions better.

If this campaign is a success then there's a good chance it will be repeated in our other local newspapers up and down the UK.

You're so tactful Nettie! I wonder if you could make something of the similarity between Essex and ethics...but I think what you want it more of a "local food is scrumptious and not expensive...oh and it makes you a nice person on the side".

There is a group of some kind called Eat the View, which obviously you can't nab, but it's another idea

Local and luscious or local and lovely (talking about the food not you )

"Let us go forward together by supporting local food producers and readdress the balance of food production and supply in our local communities in the next seven days"

Damn that Soviet modernism, must bing myself upto date.

Eat Local
Food on your doorstep (sounds like a takeaway service)
Local grown- Local Sold
Essex Harvest

I'm drawn towards stressing Pride as motivation - not only that the producers are both proud of their results and their methods, but that the punters should be proud of themselves for "having a go" and for supporting local people in their enterprises.
IMHO, any geographical boundary (Harlow, Essex, Anglia) is going to either exclude someone, or lead to a perception that 'that's hardly local'.
So I'd suggest

Eat Local, Eat Proud
or
Pride from our Countryside


'Our' brings involvement and flatters with ownership, etc
And "countryside" gives us bucolic rural idylls, nostalgia, nice views, ...
I think "our countryside" pushes lots of positive buttons, even down to an implication of outdoor rearing of animals
(but "Pride in our countryside" sounds too much like a landscape management campaign!)

Local Food for Local People - has a touch of the Royston Vasey about it.

I agree with Dougal's comments.
