Food and drink

The Dyfi Biosphere has a rich food culture. Farming, growing and fishing are a significant part of the economy and there are many restaurants, cafes and hotels making good use of local produce, as well as farmers’ markets and community food projects.

​

The Biosphere has an important stream of projects called Tyfu Dyfi which are promoting locally and sustainably grown food in the area, based on the principles of agroecology.

​

We also run the Dyfi Taste (Blas Dyfi) accreditation scheme for businesses who make a commitment to local and agroecological food production.

​

Dyfi Taste (Blas Dyfi)

​

This accreditation is available all businesses who meet the Dyfi Taste Criteria:

​

• Primary producers commit to following agroecological methods

• processors commit to using a high proportion of local ingredients;

• cafes, hotels and restaurants are expected to feature and promote local, Welsh, and seasonal produce.​

​

There is no inspection process and so it is based on trust and public feedback.​​ ​​To join the scheme, complete the Dyfi Taste Charter and send it to coordinator@biosffer.cymru. We will let you know how to make your donation, and soon you will have a pdf of the logo to use in your marketing materials and menus.
