Each month there is a little more information on some of the other Producers’:-
Ringden Farm
Twenty-five years ago, a fruit farm in East Sussex was battered by a violent hailstorm. Farmers Chris and Lesley Dench were left with hardly any saleable fruit so in an attempt to make the best of a bad situation, they decided to ask a local vineyard to make a batch of apple juice from the fruit they had managed to salvage.
The juice sold better than expected and so this marked the beginning for Ringden Farm apple juice.
Ringden Farm now sells over 20 award-winning single variety apple juices. They also offer several different apple juice blends such as thirst-quenching apple and rhubarb or the refreshing sweet and sour apple and plum.
Ringden Farm juice is 100 per cent natural: it has no added sugar, water, colourings or preservatives. Traditional pressing methods and slow pasteurisation preserve the flavour of the apples.
For a drink that tastes good all year round, visit Ringden Farm at the Farnham Farmers’ Market.
Collaroy Farm Eggs
Collaroy Farm sell extremely fresh, free range eggs.
They attend every Farnham Farmers’ Market and can also be visited at the markets in Guildford, Milford (Secretts), Horsham, Epsom and Wallington.
Mrs B’s Bees
Mrs B’s Bees is a small family business. They currently run 200 hives throughout Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex. Only honey which is surplus to the bees’ requirements is harvested. All honey is harvested individually from each apiary and labelled with the location enabling customers to buy a honey that really is local to them.
Sites are chosen based on their unique benefit for the bees. Each have something special for them to work. Each season they also take around 35 – 40 hives to the New Forest where they harvest a crop of heather honey for which they have won National Honey Show awards.
All the wax products are made from their own beeswax and are made by themselves on a small scale, each with an individual natural aroma of honey.
Mrs B’s Bees has a variety of honey, beeswax candles, furniture polish, beeswax wraps and beeswax sandwich satchels available to purchase at the market or online.
Mud Foods
