Big Knit the movie

Here's a little film about our Big Knit project that we've just made. It involves our Andrew learning how to knit with the help of Margaret and Marie. He's a one man knitting machine now.

more damsons, more blackberries, more movies

Here are some more films about our new autumnal ingredients. First up is a clip about damsons, featuring the mighty Stanley Yapp.

And next is Craig, tending to some very large blackberries.

Both worth watching if you fancy finding out a bit more about the UK ingredients that are currently going into our damsons, blackberries and elderflowers and damsons, blackberries and apples recipes.

autumn has officially arrived

We've been getting very excited about autumn. We found a load of fruit in the UK that we've made into a seasonal recipe, available in little bottles and big cartons. And we've made a film about it too...

The recipe is damsons, blackberries and elderflowers (in bottles), while the carton has damsons, blackberries and apples in it. Our elderflower growing friends in Hertfordshire had a tough year this year, so there were only limited amounts of elderflowers available.

It's good to get ingredients from harvest to bottle in a matter of days, so we hope you enjoy this recipe. From field to fridge in the blink of an eye.

a little film

Something strange that we found on youtube, featuring our kids smoothies.

Can anyone read Japanese? Is it Japanese? What does it say?

it's better to stand

Our Steve works standing up. All day. No swivel chair for him. Apparently it's something to do with monkeys and King Kong. Find out more by watching the clip below.

a song about us

This clip was sent to us by Barry, known throughout our small world as a pretty keen innocent drinker. In the past, Barry has celebrated his birthday at Fruit Towers and had a tattoo of our logo imprinted upon his arm. Pretty keen, like we say. Anyway, Barry has written a song about us, and asked his friend Nathan to perform it.

Please enjoy.

a film about our apples

We went up to Suffolk to see Henry recently and made a film about the apples that we get from him. Watch it below, or click here to watch a slightly bigger version:

We should probably point out that Henry isn't our sole supplier of apples. We get them from a few different people. But Henry's mum does the best shepherd's pie, hence the fact that we chose his apples to film.

we need one of these

Might come in useful in the kitchen.
