Visit the place in the city where something is made and buy it at the source
“Turning up at a working roastery or brewery when you are unsure they want visitors feels like trespassing. Most makers are proud to show you and glad of the sale.”
The Recipe
- Find the nearest thing actually made in your city and sold from where it is made: a coffee roaster, a brewery, a bakery, a creamery, a tofu or pasta maker.
- Go to the source rather than the shop that stocks it, and ask to see or smell the part you never get to.
- Buy what you came for straight off the line, as fresh as it comes.
