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... |
Join us for free at the Food Connections Festival Hub at 12 noon on Tuesday 12th June to see chef Matt Williamson - other half of The Art of The Larder author Claire Thomson - demonstrate the joys of a larder full of pulses with tempting dishes of beans & store-cupboard staples, including Middle Eastern favourite ful medames. There's no need to book, just turn up! More info...
Hodmedod co-founder Nick Saltmarsh will hot-foot it from the Hub to be part of the Food Connections Business Bootcamp, sharing the story of Hodmedod's journey from our beginnings packing half a tonne of beans on William's kitchen table for the Great British Bean project to winning Best Food Producer at the 2017 BBC Food and& Farming Awards.

A few years ago we were looking for a sweetner for some granola recipes, something UK produced and minimally processed. When our apple syrup order from Liberty Fields arrived we knew we were onto something special - we quickly added them to our short list of brilliant Guest Producers
We've launched ten pulses and grains from British farms as part of Holland & Barrett's transformation of their food range, available in their stores across the UK. It's a fantastic opportunity to make British-grown fava beans, carlin peas and quinoa, along with other pulses and cereals, available more widely and to support more diverse farming.
Down a warren of country lanes, not far from the Tamar Valley in Cornwall, is Julie Bailey's orchard Lower Trelabe, where she grows historic local varieties of apple and makes her delicious Apple Natural apple shreds, traditional fruit leathers that contain only the natural plant sugars.
