WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

Well, goodness me! What a few exciting months it has been. Time appears to have passed in a blur as we have one bit of good news after another. We've had so much fun!

First, in late September, our 'Cider with Rosie Mustard' was voted Best Boozy Mustard on UKTV Food's Market Kitchen, beating Fortnum & Mason's very own Beer Mustard (we are very proud!).

Then on 20th October I appeared on the Alan Titchmarsh Show - my first ever TV appearance. It was great fun, even though I was really nervous, but Alan really put me at ease. Rustie Lee cooked her own version of Mango & Apple chutney and then, as I offered her a taste of our [very own, very special, very new] Mango, Apple & Perry Chutney. Poor Alan - we were going such great guns that he thought we might take over the show!

As if that wasn't enough fun and glitz, on 24th November we were lucky enough to attend as finalist at the Flavours of Herefordshire Awards dinner, with The Hairy Biker's as the guest of honour. It was a wonderful night, with fingers firmly crossed throughout. Imagine how delighted we were then to receive our very first award (we won a Commended Award, Small Food Producer), presented by the Hairy Biker's themselves!

It was a starstruck moment, but the very next morning feet were firmly back on the ground when we exhibited at the Flavours of Herefordshire Food Festival at the lovely Hereford Race Course. What a wonderful view and what a cracking good festival! For all our customers - old and new - it was really, really wonderful to meet you in person.

So how do we follow that for the next three months?! Well, believe it or not, we do have some excitement lined up there too. As well as all our exciting events lined up, I will be pitching my new idea to the Lion's Den at the end of the month at the UK Food & Drink Entrepreneur's Forum. This is a fantastic (if slightly daunting) opportunity, with a great chance to gain valuable feedback from the Executive Chef for Waitrose brand development and own label innovation; the Head of Procurement at Starbucks coffee; and the Head of Trading - Beverages at the Co-operative Group. Yes, I am quaking in my boots already!

If you are looking for some wonderful Christmas gifts for the loved ones and foodies in your life, then please do come and see us at one of our forthcoming events, or visit our gifts and hampers section of our online shop.

Happy Gift Hunting!

All the best,

Please note: Although we have managed to get quite alot online during the last few weeks, we are still building our brand new website. As a small producer, this means doing it during our weekends and odd five minutes off!

Please bear with us - it'll be worth the wait. In the meantime, you will find some pages 'under construction' - we apologise for any inconvenience and will get these up and running for you as soon as possible. Our shop is now fully operational.
