- The historic Jamaica Inn, located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, has opened a farm shop with a view to showcasing the best of the region's food and drink
The vast majority of products sold in the shop, built by a local workforce and using materials sourced in the nearby area, are produced within Cornwall.
Allen Jackson, owner said, “The shop was inspired by local demand as the nearest supermarkets are over 11 miles away in Bodmin, Launceston and Liskeard. So we decided to breathe further life into this historic location and obtained planning permission in December 2015.
“The shop has been tastefully designed using local labour and locally sourced materials. The walls are built with local stone and the low wooden beams and timber clad surfaces have been crafted only a few miles away. Furthermore, my key assistant for the whole project, Sammy Wheeler, has gone to great lengths to stock the very best local produce, with over 90% from Cornwall.’’
