Check out how British Farmers are working with the environment, and opening their farms to you (annually, June)

The supermarkets are now stocking more and more Organic, Fair Trade and Local items. Fair trade items include coffee, tea, chocolate, bananas, geobars. Keep your eyes peeled for other items! Also look at buying items locally at Farmers Markets (Hampshire) or through Organic Doorstop Delivery Schemes, including:

Riverford (most of the South-West)
River Nene (central England)
Organic Delivery (London)
Unicorn Grocery (non-delivery Chorlton, Manchester)
Limited Resources (Manchester)
Organic Listings Directory

Check Big Barn for local producers.

The Real Jam & Chutney Co.

No Comments on The Real Jam & Chutney Co.

“Do you like real food that tastes of what it says on the label? So do we. In fact, that’s why The Real Jam and Chutney Co was formed in 2004.

Hazel Southam, one of the company’s founders, had never tasted Raspberry Jam that lived up to that made by her grandmother, Constance Hall. Realising that if she couldn’t find jam of the quality that she’d known as a child, then probably other people couldn’t either, Hazel helped set up the business.

We wanted to bring Constance Hall’s delicious recipes to a wider public who we knew would love them as much as we did.”
