Producers

This section provides links to the features I’ve written on food producers, local and faraway, who are working to bring something special to our tables.  I’ve written about them because they are exceptional in some way: either through the quality or uniqueness of their product, their ethical standards, and/or methods of production, and their own stories.

Links to the producers’ own websites are also included below, where they have them.

The Cherry Orchard, Great Abington, Cambridgeshire: for PYO cherries and other ready-picked fruit and veg.

Cambridge Asparagus, Great Abington, Cambridgeshire.  Link to producer’s website.

Davies Fish Shop, Garden Street, Cromer, Cambridgeshire: for Cromer crab and other shellfish.  Link to producer’s website.

Dedham Vale Vineyard, Colchester: sixty acres of walnut orchards.  Link to producer’s website.

Hill Farm PYO, Paddy Ivens, Chesterton, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire: for PYO strawberries, raspberries and other summer fruits.  Link to producer’s website.

Manning family orchard and Bushel Basket Farm Shop, Willingham, Cambridgeshire  (See also: “The pleasures of the plum; a season in review”).  Link to producer’s website.
