"Organic farming ticks all the boxes, producing nutrient-dense, sustainable food that nourishes from healthy biodiverse landscapes and environments."

Chocolate tartlets and smokey bacon quiche.

We recently went on an expedition to West Wales to celebrate a special farm anniversary. 

Our friend Patrick Holden, a pioneer of the modern, sustainable food movement has been managing his Bwlchwernen Fawr Farm close to Lampeter organically for over 50 years.
