About Us SomersetFood.org is managed by Sally Campbell, a Somerset resident with 25 years experience in the food and drink industry, initially in production and latterly in sales and marketing. Sally says "I am passionate about food, and about Somerset. I live in Axbridge, which for me is one of the top three places in the world (my other favourites are Sydney and Bali!). I will never tire of the view across the levels that I wake up to every morning, or sailing my dinghy on Cheddar reservoir looking up at the Mendip Hills.. After completing my degree at Reading University, I trained as a brewer with Courage and then worked as a Production Manager for Cow & Gate in Wells, before moving to Bart Spices in Bristol, where I managed the sales team for WT Foods (their parent company at the time). I still do consultancy work for food companies. Since having my children, now aged 7 and 8, my interest in local food and the Somerset economy has grown. I talked about my idea for this website, bringing together everything about good food and drink in Somerset, for almost a year and got some very encouraging responses which spurred me into making it happen. Several years later I am still discovering new delights every month!
