Wold Top Brewery

/

"Our family has farmed 600 acres high on the Yorkshire Wolds for generations and our aim is to continue to do so.

"Sustainability is key, we want to work in balance with nature so we grow trees and hedges to offset the carbon footprint, we plant areas for birds and wildlife, we consider the bees that are essential for the pollination of the crops and we use crop rotations to keep the soil in good heart.

"We also use renewable energy from our own wind turbines and have our own water supply from natural chalk aquifers under the farmland.

"We want every pint of Wold Top to be enjoyed as much as the previous one, so we balance our malts and hops to give flavours, aromas and tastes that can be enjoyed time after time, pint after pint.

"We live, work and play in a wonderful area of Yorkshire and want to maintain this balance for future generations. Hence growing our own barley in the most sustainable way we can, sourcing our power from the wind and drawing our water from underground aquifers deep in the chalk.

The Tomato Stall

/

"When we started the Tomato Stall in 2007, Britain had well and truly fallen out of love with this salad staple. They were round, boring and most of all, tasteless. We all longed for the taste of days gone by; of picking them for yourself in Grandpa's greenhouse or savouring memories of the taste of the Mediterranean on holiday.  

"From our 60-acre estate in the Arreton Valley on the Isle of Wight with rich, fertile soil, and the most hours of sunshine anywhere in the UK, we began our quest to grow the finest varieties that were full of flavour.  

"We started taking our fabulous fruits to a handful of farmers' markets in and around London, picked when perfectly ripe and delivered just hours later. Word soon spread, and before long, The Tomato Stall became well known with chefs and foodies across the nation for our great-tasting produce.  

"Today, you can find us at over 28 markets in and around London, and in a growing number of shops, restaurants, and pubs.  

"Working together with our passionate team, our Head Growers Paul and Brian nurture every single plant, and only when they are happy do our taste test panel decide which varieties, we bring to you."
