Food Close
 http://www.foodclose.co.uk/



 Food Close provides reviews and advice about shopping for local produce in the Derby, Nottingham and Leicester areas with the intention of helping shoppers to cut food miles. Designed to supplement sites like Big Barn (a service that allows users to build their own personal network of favourite suppliers), Food Close offers more detailed advice about how to adapt to farm shopping instead of the usual supermarket approach, arguing that it is "possible to integrate these superb local sources into everyday shopping". Features of the Food Close site include a page listing the weekly markets across the three counties, with the ongoing addition of a separate page for each market, containing maps, photographs, parking information, stallholder links, and a general review of its overall atmosphere. Elsewhere, the Food Close blog features news updates from the markets, suppliers and producers, while an events section provides reports from recent food industry events. Complemented by a neat and engaging interface, Food Close is certainly a useful and innovative resource that could easily provide a model for similar sites elsewhere. Awarded a Sapling Commendation.
