Bath Soft Cheese
We take a traditional approach both to how we raise and graze our small herd of 160 mainly Holstein Friesian cows and to our artisan, handmade, hands-on cheesemaking. We are entirely organic and are registered with Organic Farmers and Growers.

Billies & Tong
Billies & Tong based in Wells makes and sells delicious biltong and droewors. So what are both? Biltong is a form of dried, cured meat that originates from South African countries. Using delicious local beef, we offer a fantastic choice of flavours that include original, garlic, chilli and just recently Jamaican Jerk. Droewors (droe wors or drywors) is an Afrikaans word that directly translates to ‘dry sausage’. It is a Southern African snack food based on the traditional, coriander-seed spiced boerewors sausage. Both biltong and droewors are high in protein and low in carbs. Having lived on a farm in Africa, owner Gerry offers the ultimate authentic food experience.

Ebb Tides
We think seaweeds are pretty amazing. Eaten by coastal people since ancient times and part of the daily diet in Asia for centuries – for good reason. Seaweeds are wholesome, delicious and a great alternative to salt. We harvest mainly during the summer months when the tides allow, but we’ll also harvest year-round, depending on demand and on the species. It’s got to be in season, and just like other vegetables, it has a point in the year where taste and goodness is at its best.
