Hunting down Yorkshire's finest food fodder
Fodder is a new concept food shop and café set up and championed by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS).
The aim of the venture, which opens in June, is to inject new life into the rural economy and support farmers and producers, while offering consumers the best food and drink from the region. Heather Parry, deputy chief executive of the YAS, is on the hunt for the finest producers Yorkshire and the Humber has to offer.
"I've been scouring the countryside looking for the best produce. I've tasted everything from bilberries to butter and I want to leave no cake untested and no loaf untried," said Miss Parry.
One producer who has passed the Fodder selection process is Caroline Sellers, of the award-winning Side Oven Bakery. Caroline produces a range of artisan breads, flours and mueslis primarily using home-grown produce from their farm.
"The Side Oven Bakery was given a 4,000 grant in 2004 by the YAS's initiative Growing Routes, which supports small businesses," says Miss Parry.
The Side Oven Bakery is based at Carr House Farm in Foston on the Wolds, near Driffield, East Yorkshire.
