and Dafydd’s shameless willingness to experiment in the kitchen
was the perfect combination to establish a company proud in no ordinary
food. The unusual range includes Camelina Oil, Hemp Oil, Avocado Oil
and recently rubs, dips and pestos.

are 93% fat free, made to the famous secret recipe of ‘6lb of
shan’t tell you’ and a great deal of love and care. The

themselves a little, there is nothing better than a bit of traditional
vanilla ice creams every now and then.

like the majority of flavoured milk drinks and is considered by sports
nutrionists for top teams to be the best product of its kind on the

(less than 4.5%), has no artificial colour or flavour, and it’s
Welsh at its best!

200 members.
www.welshladypreserves.com
Welsh Lady Preserves came to life in 1966. That was
when Dio and Marion Jones made their first batch of traditional Lemon
Cheese under the name of “Welsh Lady". Soon marmalades
and various high quality fruit preserves were added to the range.
All products are still made in small batches, with no artificial colourings,
flavourings or preservatives used. The Welsh range also includes savoury
accompaniments like Wholegrain Mustards, Chutneys and Jellies. We
are delighted to stock the Welsh Lady products, especially when they
are made just down the road from us.

Nuts & Co.
Adam and Penny
gave up their jobs to dedicate their time to their hobby that soon
became a way to earn money. Our relationship started in 2006 and since
then the delicious range of Nuts&Co. home-made chutneys has been
welcomed on our shelves. We need to mention that Glasfryn Farm Shop
was the first one to sell Nuts&Co. products. They create all the
recipes themselves, source quality ingredients locally if possible
and put their hearts in to what they produce. Our favourite is Spicy
Carrot Jam, followed by Beetroot and Orange Preserve. Try it before
it goes!
The Celtic Kitchen
The Celtic
Kitchen is a small family business based on the beautiful Isle of
Anglesey. Charlotte and her family team, combine traditional cookery
and old family recipes with the best ingredients the Island has to
offer. Everything is prepared and cooked by hand in small batches.
There is NO room for artificial preservatives, flavours, added water
or gelling agents in the Celtic Kitchen products. And as Charlotte
reassures us, there is hardly any sugar added when it comes to jams
and jellies, which have usually very high fruit content (90%).
Edern Honey
We source our Welsh wildflower honey directly from
Wern Las Farm, Edern. It’s as good as it gets and it travels
only 10 miles to get on our shelves!
Popty'r Bryn
Nerys Roberts
from Popty’r Bryn, based on the Isle of Anglesey, operates her
business from home, and to be more specific, from a purpose built
commercial kitchen. Nerys is a living example of transforming her
hobby into a successful business. We love her traditional Bara Brith
and mouth watering shortbreads, but we are crazy about her Treacle
Toffee – big or small – one can’t resist it!
Wyau Gwenallt

if we didn’t stock Free Range eggs. Our eggs come from the farm
in Llaniestyn, which is situated only 12 miles away from us. Food
miles matter to us!

www.patchwork-pate.co.uk
The
Patchwork Food Co. supplies us with an amazing range of award-winning
pâtes. They come at a premium price, but believe us –
there is a reason for it! Despite the commercial scale of the company
today, everything is still hand-made in small batches, without artificial
colouring, additives or preservatives, to Margaret’s original
recipes. She established The Patchowork Pâté company
in 1982 when she found herself divorced with three children to look
after. With a start up cost of just £9.00, saved from the housekeeping,
she began selling her home made pâtés to pubs nearby
Llangollen. And now, you can try them for yourself, visit our Farm
Shop to see the range she’s created.
