A Cornish local food hub celebrated its one anniversary last week having started during the first national lockdown. The Helston Local Food Hub started during the first Covid-19 national lockdown when Helston Farmers’ Market was unable to open and producers had lost a valuable market whilst customers were no longer able to easily access their favourite local food. The Helston Local Food Hub, which is run by Alastair Cameron and supported by Helston Climate Action Group, operates in a similar way to a click and collect service at a supermarket.

What makes the Helston Local Food Hub different is its relationships with over 30 local producers whose stock is delivered every Saturday morning so customers can collect in Helston, Constantine, Mullion and St Keverne and Porthallow.
