SUPERMARKET shoppers in Cumbria's capital can dine on more local food this week after an innovative supply deal extended its reach to Carlisle.

Some 80 Cumbrian-sourced products will be appearing on the shelves of ASDA's Carlisle store for the first time after proving a hit in their Kendal and Barrow branches, reports Jennie Dennett.

It is the next step in a local sourcing initiative between the retail giant and Kendal-based farm shop and food producers Plumgarths. Plumgarths say the two-year-old deal has already boosted the local economy by £500,000.
