jenni wren creative - floristry arts & crafts

Passionate about all things floral and handcrafted  Since I can remember, I have always loved flowers. My earliest memories are of helping my  Grandmother in her potting shed with her African Violets. The most treasured are walking amongst her beautiful Rose Garden with it's heady scents and gorgeous blooms.  Those memories combine together with the privilege of being a daughter of a Artisan Jeweler.  I would often sit with my  Father in his  workshop and loved watching the process,  from start to finish.  From  drawing the design to  moulding the piece from the bare elements to creating  something truly beautiful with his hands.  From this,  I have developed the utmost respect for handmade articles and as such it is my  joy to create, teach and inspire Floristry, arts and crafts related pieces in a  relaxed and informal way  Everyone is welcome no matter the skill level from novice to advanced.   With a little direction and encouragement  each student is often very pleased and most certainly proud of their achievement🤩

forge house bakery

Forge House Bakery is run by Sue Brown, owner and passionate baker with a background in Food Science, and many years experience of working in the Food Industry including running a successful wedding cake business. In the past village bakeries would have been present in most rural villages but they are now sadly few and far between. We aim to bring real bread to our local community by offering a delivery service to locals and collection points for those further afield. We specialise in naturally slow fermented sourdough breads. Our fundamental belief is that everyone should be able to eat good quality, nutritious and great tasting bread, free from unnecessary additives. There is a great pleasure in creating something wonderful from just three ingredients: Flour, water, salt. We carefully source good quality ingredients and use organic, unbleached and additive free flours milled in the UK. Where possible we also use local ingredients, including honey, ales, eggs, cheese, and milk. We also use herbs and vegetables from our garden. The process of a long fermentation using wild yeasts not only enhances the flavour and texture of bread but also improves digestibility and produces a loaf that is just better for you. Please look through our product pages. As a small microbakery we love to change our weekly breads regularly, keeping a core selection of the most popular items. Do contact us if there is something that you would like to see that we are not currently offering, we love a challenge!

tolhurst organic

Tolhurst Organic lies just outside the village of Whitchurch-on-Thames in south Oxfordshire. Nestled between the Chilterns and the river Thames, the farm is situated in the picturesque Hardwick Estate, with 17 acres in two fields and 2 acres in the 500 year old walled garden. Iain Tolhurst, along with his business partner Lin, have held the organic symbol for over 30 years, thus making Tolhurst Organic one of the longest running organic vegetable farms in England. The farm doesn’t only hold the “Soil Association” symbol but was the first to attain the “Stockfree Organic” symbol in 2004, and has had no grazing animals and no animal inputs to any part of the farm for the last 10 years. In may 2014 we registered as a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee. This shows that our activities benefit the community, and it offers more opportunities for business development. We supply in-season organic vegetables and fruit delivered to your neighbourhood weekly, via a Neighbourhood Rep’ scheme. Almost all vegetables are harvested the day of delivery to guarantee their freshness. The bags will vary from week to week according to the season and availability of produce. You cannot choose the contents of your bag – if we were to pack to individual requirements it would double the cost, so this approach keeps our box scheme affordable and accessible to all. The delivery round covers Reading, Pangbourne, Wallingford and Oxford areas, every Thursday. Our produce is dropped off to points run by Neighbourhood Reps. Your orders are placed with the Rep, and produce is collected from him/her. As well as helping to keep prices down, this way of delivery minimises food miles to almost zero. If you are in Whitchurch-on-Thames or Pangbourne, we can deliver to your door. To allow some flexibility with contents, we have a list of Extras available, so that you may order extra items, such as quantities of potatoes, carrots, onions, salad packs and less usual things such as organic flowers. We pride ourselves on being able to grow as many of the vegetables as possible ourselves and can in an average year manage to produce at least 85% of the value on our own land. We believe that food should be as local as possible, and try as far as possible only to buy from other organic farms in the area. We are founder members of Thames Organic Growers, a group formed to encourage the production of local food for local people, so where possible we trade within our group members.
