Events

Carlin peas have deep roots in British food culture but are now little known outside regional pockets of appreciation in the North of England. Seed Sovereignty is working to raise awareness of carlin peas. Northern England coordinator Catherine Howell describes their recent "Carlin Wednesday" celebration.

We're deepening our local roots and bringing together farmers, cooks, chefs, bakers and others to celebrate and imagine the future food and farming systems of the Waveney Valley on the Norfolk-Suffolk border.

With the summer festival season in full swing we're getting out and about with our British-grown pulses, grains and seeds. They're superb ingredients not just for comforting winter fare but excellent in lighter summer dishes too.

We're getting very excited about Bristol Food Connections, an amazing festival of more than 100 events across the city & through the week of 11th to 17th June. We're involved in a few things...

The first ever British Dal Festival ran in Bristol from 19th to 25th March 2018. The festival celebrated simple but sublime dals of peas, beans and lentils, alongside sister pulse dishes from Britain’s mushy peas to Mexico’s refried beans.

We’ve an exciting autumn ahead. We're with River Cottage at Borough Market all September, at the Abergavenny Food Festival on 16/17 September, and at the Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival on 23/24 September. The winners of the BBC Food & Farming Awards will be announced and we and our growers will be busy harvesting quinoa, lentils and beans. And don't miss our Organic September special offers!
