Our Story

Connecting Communities Through Local Food

We believe in the power of local food systems to strengthen communities, support sustainable farming, and deliver the freshest British produce directly to your table.

Our Mission

Rebuilding FoodConnections

In a world where food travels thousands of miles before reaching our plates, we're bringing it back home. The Local Harvest connects you directly with British farmers, growers, and producers who share your values of quality, sustainability, and community.

We believe that when consumers and producers know each other, magic happens. Trust builds, quality improves, and communities thrive. Our platform makes these connections possible, one relationship at a time.

The team

Built by one founder, in public

The Local Harvest is a one-person operation today. We’d rather start small and honest than pretend to be bigger than we are. As real people join, they’ll appear here with verifiable names, photos and roles — never stock images, never invented titles.

The Local Harvest

Adam Pittman

Founder & operator

The Local Harvest is built and run by Adam Pittman through CDM Marketing Ltd — a UK-registered company (Companies House 14010841) based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Adam designs the product, writes the code, talks to producers and answers support email himself. If you contact us, you’re writing to him.

The mission is straightforward: rebuild the path between British food producers and the people who want to eat their food, without the supermarket layer in between. Step one is the directory you’re using. Step two is the marketplace. Step three is whatever the producers and shoppers tell us they actually want.

We won’t pad this page with stock photos of people who don’t exist or invented headcount stats. That’s not a foundation a marketplace can build trust on. Want to be the second person on the team? Tell us why.
