OxFarmToFork, led by Good Food Oxfordshire, has revealed that less than 1% of produce grown in the county is currently consumed locally.
Since launching in 2023, the project has built what its 2025 impact report describes as “a thriving supply chain”, connecting 18 local producers directly with 21 buyers, including 20 Oxford colleges. The model is already delivering tangible results, generating £350,000 in local transactions, with annual sales projected to reach £300,000 by the end of 2026.
Also more significantly, the initiative is also driving sustainability gains. By using zero-emissions logistics and sourcing from farms within a 50-mile radius of Oxford, OxFarmToFork estimates it has saved more than 2.8 million food miles.
