We garden and we cook!
Passionate about taking food from a tiny seed to a taste explosion.
Feeding our families in the best way we can.
We don’t clock up food miles, we don’t use chemicals and we don’t eat strawberries in December. We do make the most of what we have – land, time, energy, passion…..passion for mud under the finger nails, being outdoors, watching our food grow, cooking and eating it. Fabulous food. Simple food. Fresh from the ground, preserved, bottled, dried – ensuring our plates are delicious and nutritious all year round.
Follow us through the seasons as we make the most of what the ground has to offer. You’ll find recipes and tutorials as we live, love and learn about smallholding in Normandie.

Pretty much what I do every time I go to my grandmas… I cook at home, but don’t have much space to garden. 😦
