🌿 Farmer & The Chef – From Our Farm to Your Table

💚 WOW… WHAT A DAY! 💚

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came along to support the launch of Farmer & The Chef at The Old Foundry last Friday.

We were genuinely blown away by the response. From opening the doors until packing away, there was a wonderful steady flow of visitors throughout the day.

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces, meet lots of new people and hear how much you enjoyed shopping in the comfort of an air-conditioned venue while relaxing with a quality coffee and freshly baked cakes, savouries and sweet treats.

Our chef-prepared frozen ready meals proved incredibly popular, and there was lots of interest in our new subscription boxes. Fresh seasonal vegetables and quality meat from Hedden's Farm, alongside our Farmer & The Chef range, made for a winning combination.

The question we heard most was…

"When's the next Market Day?"

🎉 We're delighted to confirm that Farmer & The Chef Market Days will take place on the last Friday of every month at The Old Foundry.

📅 Pop the dates in your diary or check out our Events Calendar.

🎄 We'll also be announcing some special festive Market Days for December Christmas shopping very soon!

Thank you for supporting our new venture and helping make our very first Market Day such a success.

We can't wait to welcome you back next month!

🌱 What goes into Market Day?

As we prepare for the launch of Farmer & The Chef at The Old Foundry, it's easy to focus on the finished products.

The fresh vegetables.

The ready meals.

The quiches.

The meal kits.

The sauces and spice blends.

But behind every product is a lot of early mornings, planning, preparation and teamwork.

Working alongside Hedden's Farm, we're harvesting seasonal produce, Chef Duet Catering are testing recipes, preparing meals, packing orders and developing new products that bring together the very best of local farming and professional cookery.

What excites us most is that we're only just getting started.

Farmer & The Chef has been created to make great local food more accessible, whether that's through fresh produce, chef-prepared meals, meal kits, subscription boxes or seasonal food experiences.

This Friday we'll be opening our doors for the very first Farmer & The Chef Market Day and Launch Event at The Old Foundry.

We'd love you to come along, meet the team and see what we've been building.

📦 CURIOUS ABOUT OUR SUBSCRIPTION BOXES? 📦

One of the questions we've been asked most since launching Farmer & The Chef is:

"What's going to be in the subscription boxes?"

The honest answer?

That depends on you.

We're creating a range of subscription boxes designed to make enjoying great local food easier, more convenient and a lot more enjoyable.

We're currently developing:

🥩 Meat Boxes
Fresh seasonal meat from Hedden's Farm.

🥕 Vegetable Boxes
Farm-fresh seasonal vegetables harvested at their best.

🍽️ Ready Meal Boxes
Chef-prepared meals ready to heat and enjoy. Perfect for busy households, elderly relatives, professionals and anyone who wants healthy convenience without the cooking.

👨‍🍳 Meal Kit Boxes
Love cooking but stuck for ideas? We'll provide the ingredients, recipe card and chef inspiration. Many of these recipes come from dishes we've developed for weddings, events and private dining experiences.

✨ Chef's Choice Boxes
A carefully curated selection of seasonal produce, local favourites and chef-created additions designed to help you create a complete meal experience at home.

The best bit?

Everything starts with great local produce and is brought together by our chefs.

No warehouses.

No national distribution centres.

Just real food, from local suppliers, prepared by people who genuinely care about what ends up on your table.

👇 We'd love your feedback...
