Tesco offering more locally grown produce
A Manx vegetable producer has told Manx Radio it's agreed a deal with a supermarket to help sell its surplus of stock.
At the Royal Agricultural Show earlier this month, the Manx National Farmers' Union handed out free potatoes in the hopes of 'embarrassing' supermarkets to offer more local produce.
Allansons, which grew the potatoes, says Tesco has now stepped in to sell more of its vegetables.
Owner Stuart Allanson says it's really helping with the extra quantities they have:
Andy Sanderson is Tesco's Store Director on the Island.
He says they want to help where they can:
Police 'actively looking' for drink and drug drivers this Christmas
Fine for man who had to be restrained by five hospital porters
Today's Manxman sailings delayed
MHK questions if reduction in NSC hours goes against Island Plan
