Made in Cumbria Membership

Established in 1989 as an economic development initiative by Cumbria County Council to promote the sales of crafts, gifts and local foods, Made in Cumbria provides a sector specific range of business support, sales opportunities and marketing information.

Whilst the range of craft, giftware and local foods is diverse, each product must conform to the Trading Standards ruling on the place of origin before admission to Made in Cumbria can be granted.

Trading Standards declare that:

… a product must be wholly manufactured in Cumbria or that the last treatment or process, resulting in a substantial change, must take place within the county.
