Our members celebrate the extraordinary food that is available locally – because they know it, grow it and produce it themselves. Current members Ballykenver Farmshop & Kitchen and The Lamb Van both share a deep understanding of what makes food from this part of the world so very special, and why everyone should share in it.
Not only is the ancient landscape of North Antrim spectacular on a global scale – its wonderfully mild micro-climate creates the perfect conditions for an absolute abundance of fresh vegetables, fruit and meat – all with the most incredible flavour. The landscape is protected from over-development and the pollutants of industry, so produce grows just as nature intended.
We are members of Slow Food Causeway, coordinated by Taste Causeway which is an accredited member of Slow Food UK, part of a global grassroots organisation that is committed to making good, clean and fair food. It’s a sign of genuinely sustainable food that is unique to the area, that doesn’t harm the environment in its growth or production, and that is for and available to everyone.
If you’re a local food grower or maker, committed to ethical, sustainable food that tastes amazing, and you want to share it with more local people, it makes sense to join the Farm Foodies Group. Ask about the New Member Packages – email info@thefarmfoodies.com
