Another Farm is Possible: The Landworkers' Alliance 2021 Calendar

Sorry, not available right now £15.00

The 2021 Landworkers' Alliance Calendar features 12 inspiring and hopeful stories - including our own - with beautiful prints by Rosanna Morris. We'll be returning the full £15 cover price of every calendar sold to the LWA to support the important work they do in giving voice to agroecological food producers and land workers.

Another Farm is Possible! 2020 has exposed the deep cracks and inequalities that exist across our health and wellbeing, and in our food systems. With their 2021 calendar, the Landworkers' Alliance showcase twelve farms and projects up and down the UK: across uplands and lowlands, that are embodying the transformation that we so desperately need to change this.

In each story, farmers, coppicers and crofters speak in their own words about their project and their passion, opening a window into a more just future. The stories are brought to life alongside 12 beautiful, original lino cuts by Rosanna Morris – the talented, socially engaged printmaker behind their last two sell-out calendars, and are beautifully reproduced onto a lovely, textured brown kraft paper, complimenting the artworks.

Drawing on the past, there’s Parc y Dderwen: fermenters, on a mission to re-instill our forgotten fermentation skills. Whilst looking forwards, Willowbrook Farm is the UK’s first argroecological halal farm. Plus ten more stories of innovation happening right now - including our story and that of our friends at Wakelyns Agroforestry.

Wakelyns Whole Coral Lentils, Organic

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

Sorry, not available right now £4.50

Organic lentils from Wakelyns Agroforestry are back!

In the late summer of 2017 we harvested the first commercial crop of British-grown lentils at Wakelyns after several years of trials, an experimental mixture of varieties - a mottled green lentil (the same variety as is grown in Le Puy-en-Velay, in France) and a gun-metal grey lentil (also widely grown in France).

We're excited to now have more organic lentils from Wakelyns, this time Coral Lentils grown and harvested in 2020. If split these would be what we more usually call a red lentil, but these are a traditional French variety best eaten whole. Because they're so limited we're only selling these special lentils in 500g packs.

Pioneering Suffolk research farm Wakelyns was established in 1994 by our friend and mentor the late professor Martin Wolfe to test and develop agroforestry approaches that integrate annual crops (like lentils and cereals) with trees and other perennial plants.

Martin aimed to increase diversity in fields and between fields, an approach that increases overall yields and ensures the farm is better able to cope with climatic variability, pest and disease pressures and is less dependent on inputs, like fertiliser, from outside the farm.

We also have Olive Green Lentils from a number of other UK farmers.

Our Wakelyns Lentils have a superb peppery, nutty flavour and firm texture. They're great in soups, stews, curries and salad.

Cooking instructions

Rinse the lentils in a sieve, check for small stones, and place in a pan with plenty of fresh water water. Bring to the boil, simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.

Don't over-cook - taste the lentils toward the end of the cooking process. To make a salad or a cold lentil dish drench the lentils in cold water immediately after cooking, this will stop them cooking further and ensure they stay nice and firm.

Smoked Quinoa Loaf

Penny Bun Bakehouse

£3.85

Order bread to be baked on the day selected above* and dispatched on the same day for next-day delivery.
We'll send your full order on your chosen baking day.

*Back by popular demand!* A few weeks ago Johnny Spillings of the Penny Bun Bakehouse in Lowestoft came up with this extra special loaf, the response was so positive that Johnny has decided to make it more regularly. We've sent over more smoked quinoa and the loaf is back for the the next few weeks.

The Smoked Quinoa Loaf is made with flour milled from grain grown on the Holkham Estate in North Norfolk, our Essex Smoked Quinoa and and rape seeds from our friends down the road in Suffolk at Hill Farm Oils - they add a mustardy sweetness to the finished loaf that perfectly compliments the smoky quinoa flavours. The loaves are slow fermented with the Penny Bun sourdough starter and baked on the day we send them to you.

Sourdough loaves keep well (you'll have a good few days to eat your loaf after delivery) and freeze brilliantly.

*Add the loaf to your basket and complete your order as usual. Up to 50 loaves will be baked to order every Wednesday and Thursday. Orders for Wednesday baking must be received by 3pm on the Monday. Orders for Thursday baking must be received by 3pm on the Tuesday.
