Why we do what we do

Cornwall is renowned for its creativity, craftsmanship and its wholesome food and drink and our primary purpose is to authenticate the sourcing, manufacturing, and creation of genuinely hand-crafted Cornish products and services.

Following numerous complaints about goods being called ‘Cornish’ but not being made in Cornwall, to which there was no simple legal solution, Cornwall County Council’s Trading Standards Service launched the ‘Made in Cornwall’ scheme, or Approved Origin scheme as it is officially known, in 1991 to protect the identity of genuine Cornish products and Cornish provenance.

ALCHEMY TILES

To be able to display the Made in Cornwall ‘Approved Origin’ logo makers, artists and producers need to be authenticated by Trading Standards to ensure that; they are genuinely being made in Cornwall, that the business attempts to source ingredients or raw materials from within the County (with extra merit given to those that do) and that the finished products comply with the relevant UK and EU regulations.

Once approved members can use the official Made in Cornwall ‘Approved Origin’ stamp, sticker or tag on their products and marketing. This assures customers that they are not only buying excellent products, but are also supporting talented businesses and makers, the local circular economy whilst doing their bit to help protect our unique environment.

In addition to this we also hold regular Made in Cornwall Fairs in Autumn and at Christmas which provide a channel through which our members can sell exclusively among other authenticated producers and help educate the public and provide reassurance to customers that they are purchasing genuine Cornish products. There is also the additional benefit of the support and various collaborations among our members too that make a big difference, especially during challenging times.
