British Food Fortnight: 17th September – 2nd October 2011


We invite you to join us in celebrating British Food Fortnight, when we'll be showcasing the producers on The Artisan Food Trail blog.
Everyday throughout the fortnight we'll be focussing on one or two food artisans giving you an insight into what they do and hopefully we'll be able to inspire you with the best of British produce.

Here at The Artisan Food Trail, we are passionate about British food
and love to share all that is good about it by raising awareness of our country's artisan producers and helping to spread the word about the people that make it.

We will be featuring cheese, to handmade confectionery and a range of enticing smoked foods. There'll be ice cream, cured meats and specialist condiments. Indulge your cake cravings with some fine bakery items or satisfy your savoury needs with pies. There'll be a variety of preserves made with all the best locally sourced ingredients. For the discerning meat eater, there'll be ethically reared, speciality and British rare breed pork, beef and lamb as well as a range of wild venison charcuterie. For those who love to add some spice to their life, we have gourmet chillies and to wash it all down, fruity soft drinks.

And if that wasn't enough to whet your appetite and you want to learn even more about food, perhaps some courses will be interesting to you too.

Our celebration will start this Saturday 17th September, so get ready for our jam packed blog!
Get the bunting up!

Farm Shop & Deli Show 2011

NEC, Birmingham 27 February – 1 March 2011

The Farm Shop & Deli Show is a new addition to specialist food trade shows and is aimed at meeting the needs of farm shops, delicatessens and artisan food halls.
We paid a visit to meet new people and to discover any up and coming food producers.

There were a variety of exhibitors including suppliers, producers, manufacturers and distributors, showcasing everything from chocolate, confectionery, charcuterie, meat, olives, sauces, preserves, condiments and chutneys through to speciality soft drinks, hot beverages, biscuits, cakes, beers, wines and spirits as well as speciality packaging, lighting and storage solutions.

It was good to talk to food producers and get their feedback on what we're doing as well as hear how the show benefitted them.
Although the event was fairly small, tucked inside the larger National Convenience Show, there were plenty of people to create a good buzz for everyone including two of our listed producers: Breckland Orchard and Womersley Fruit & Herb Vinegars

Farm Shop & Deli Show
Next year's date: 25-28 March 2012
