Tesco offering more locally grown produce
A Manx vegetable producer has told Manx Radio it's agreed a deal with a supermarket to help sell its surplus of stock.
At the Royal Agricultural Show earlier this month, the Manx National Farmers' Union handed out free potatoes in the hopes of 'embarrassing' supermarkets to offer more local produce.
Allansons, which grew the potatoes, says Tesco has now stepped in to sell more of its vegetables.
Owner Stuart Allanson says it's really helping with the extra quantities they have:
Andy Sanderson is Tesco's Store Director on the Island.
He says they want to help where they can:
Investigations and repairs continuing on Manxman
Domestic abuser who threw axe at partner sentenced
Enterprise Minister calls for businesses to find Island's next niche sector
Welbeck owner says buyer news 'still comes with a little bit of disbelief'
