SomersetRegion.info provides a Directory of Speciality Products from our region, so that local people can easily find some of the fine foods and other products that are produced locally.
Entries in the Directory are entirely free of charge - there are no hidden catches.
SomersetRegion.info currently has a monthly readership of approx. 1200 local and International visitors (it may surprise readers to know that our community website attracts online visitors from all over the world), so a listing is good exposure for any local business.
Furthermore, because we are a community website offering quality content, search engines such as Google give us a high rating in their free listings section, which means that if your business is listed on our webiste, people will be able to find you easily when searching the web, even if you don't have a website.
We believe that if local people come to appreciate the many fine local products, such as honey, olives and olive products, cheeses, organic meats, wines, fresh vegetables, etc. that are produced in our region, they will come to appreciate there can be more to shopping than visiting the nearest shopping mall or supermarket.
When you shop from a local producer, it is a totally different experience because you can learn about the craftsmanship that goes into the production processes, which helps you to appreciate the many differences in quality. There is always an extra dimension when you buy from a local producer, even if it is just the warm greeting by name as you arrive at the door.
As the Brisbane Valley ‘Buy Local F1RST’ campaign is progressing, we are finding that there is a minority, but nonetheless pervasive attitude that anything produced locally is somehow “inferior quality”. This is clearly nonsense, so one of our objectives is to provide information about the many excellent local products, services and resources that are available locally, so that we can take more pride in our region and see the many benefits of supporting the local economy.
