A pigman's office, formerly used to store straw and tools for a piggery at Tower Farm at Lydeard St Lawrence, near Taunton, has been converted into 100m2 of warehousing space. The new business, EQLF Ltd, will operate from here as a co-operative, and aims to build a customer base for local food producers in restaurants, pubs, hotels and caterers as well as exploring public sector opportunities.
