Christmas is coming

December 17, 2012 //

Thought we’d give you a hint of just a few of the goodies we have in store to help you solve your festive shopping challenges!

Chocolates for the young at heart, including: milk chocoate coins and organic fairtrade chocolate buttons in tree-ready handcrafted boxes.

Mandarin and ginger extra dark chocolate, or a selection pack from Green and Blacks, or dark chocolate ginger, all organic and fairtrade.

Organic fairtrade drinks: hot chocolate, or Grumpy Mule coffee (is there a message in that one?)

Wonderful baked goods: mince pies and gingerbread reindeers by Taylors traditional (and local) bakers, or organic panettone, stollen and cantuccini for a more continental flavour.

Plus lots more of course: do come and see!

A few of July’s fruit and veg…

July 15, 2012 //

Amazing lemons from Riverford, plus plums, apples, and fairtrade bananas.

These peas from Charles Dowding are so fresh and young we’ve been eating them whole, either lightly cooked or raw: completely delicious. Also fresh, wet garlic, french beans, and some beautiful onions.
