New Forest Marque
Mouthwatering cakes, traditional hearty pies, carefully-reared meat, locally-caught seafood and traditional New Forest crafts – you will find all this and more under the banner of the New Forest Marque.
Nestled among the ancient woodlands and smallholdings of the New Forest in the south of England, you will find a wealth of local producers who are passionate about their products.
Buying a Marque® product means you know you are getting authentic New Forest fare of the highest quality and you are also helping to support the traditional country ways in this unique and special landscape.
The Marque® – a sign of quality.
A product is only licensed to use the Marque® if:
* it contains at least 25 per cent New Forest produce
* it has met stringent standards according to its particular speciality (for example, meat producers must show that high standards of welfare and good husbandry have been applied at all times).
Managed by the New Forest National Park Authority and New Forest District Council the award scheme was created to:
* give businesses a distinctive 'New Forest' banner under which to sell their goods and services
* help customers identify quality New Forest produce
* encourage people to 'buy local' and reduce the environmental impact of transporting food long distances
* help sustain the New Forest’s local economy by supporting local businesses and employment.
