Ingredients & Suppliers
INGREDIENTS LISTING
I am very strict about what I use in my products so main ingredients are home grown, locally grown or if needed British. I make use of my collection of freezers and frozen produce from local growers.
If you have a glut of produce then please get in touch. I can swap for jars, a donation to a charity of your choice or cash.
