River Cottage Spring in to Summer Hampers
This year's TV programme, “River Cottage Spring” has a big drive to encourage everyone to eat well at home by getting back in to the kitchen and do some traditional home cooking and to grow and harvest produce from the garden, and we think we've come up with a really nice way to get you started. Even if you are a complete novice gardener with just a small balcony or a nervous chef that has only ever re-cooked, and burnt a hard-boiled egg, we can help you get started! We have selected a range of products to get you in the mood and packed them in to one of our River Cottage Hampers.
What could be better than some home-made organic bread made to a recipe from the team and spread with some delicious Devon honey? Amongst the many delights for the gardener, we have selected some seeds from Tamar Organics to grow herbs and salad crops using your own pots made out of recycled newspapers, and other gardening items to help your seedlings on their way. All British or FSC certified of course.
Just the thing for a River Cottage fan, we feel these great products would appeal to your friends too as an introduction to River Cottage and our ethos. The perfect thank you gift or house warming present, it will spur you on to get out there and start growing your own.
We have put together three starter hampers for you, The Kitchen Hamper, The Garden Hamper and a combination of these two, The Kitchen and Garden Hamper, all great for yourself or as a gift.

Beech chopping boards
Both of our kitchens at Park Farm and at the Axminster Canteen use these beautiful beech chopping boards.
These boards are made locally by our friend Mike and customers on events often asked if they were available to buy!
The boards are all made from English Beech and handcrafted in Mike's Chideock workshop.
|
We have three types of boards available, two sizes of the smooth edged beech chopping boards and the popular rough edged rustic look chopping board.

We use them both for presentation and for chopping on. The small chopping board is ideal for canapes and the larger board is ideal for bread.
The smaller smooth edged chopping board measures approximately 23cm x 16cm whilst the larger is approximately 38cm x 23cm. They have cut outs at each end to make carrying easier.
|

The rough edged chopping boards are ideal for presentation of food when you are looking for that rustic look and are sturdy enough to use as a cutting surface. The dimensions are approximately 40cm by 25cm although as they are made with rustic edgings these do vary slightly. The boards have cut out handles at each end to make it easy to use as a tray or presentation.
Please note that to achieve this look two pieces of wood are joined and glued together, we therefore recommend that they are not cleaned in a dishwasher.

Devonshire Honey
The producer of this honey, Dan of K. Basterfields & Sons says:-
"Our free ranging bees are hived in apiarries near our home in East Devon, where they forage on farm crops, hedgerows and gardens as the seasons allow.
Our honey is a wholesome and natural product, and as such will set firm over time. Heat gently in a pan of warm water to return to a liquid state if desired."
Honey is not suitable for infants under 12 months old.

Cornish Sea Salt
Sea salt crystals of great purity that melt in the mouth and add real flavour intensity to the things you love to eat. Cornish Sea salt offers more taste for less salt, making it a healthier alternative to traditional table salt.
The salt is harvested from the clear sea water off the coast of Cornwall - from the Atlantic ocean. Nature’s ultimate renewable resource. The sea water is extracted at 3.5% saturation, we take only 0.5%, and return sea water from where it came, at a saturation of 3.0%. This simple hand-harvest process, working with nature, results in brilliant white flakey sea salt crystals with more than sixty naturally occurring trace elements essential for well-being. The crystals crumble easily between the fingers, and they taste great too!
Cornish Sea Salt is the preferred salt of the River Cottage chefs
