Today’s blog is a little bit of a plug for my friends at Brown and Green, in Derby Garden Centre, near Little Eaton, which (now I’ve moved to Derby) is officially my new favourite place to shop.
They are having a special local food celebration event this weekend.
Manager Susie writes:
"We're pulling out the stops to celebrate all our Derbyshire made produce this coming Saturday and Sunday (31st August/1st Sept). Inspired by a recent flurry of new Derbyshire producers on board, we thought we'd take the opportunity to highlight the growing range of food and drink within our store which is grown and made within the county.
"Over the weekend we have various suppliers joining in store to meet customers, tell them all about their produce first hand, and of course offer tastings too.
"On Saturday meet Dan from Derby Brewing Co with tastings of local bottled beers Old Intentional, Business as Usual and Quintessential. Baljit from Mickleover based Apna Spice also joins us with her handmade authentic Curry Bases, and last but not least, new Derbyshire producer Brock & Morten will be joining us introducing their Derbyshire rapeseed oil.
"On sweet Sunday Louise from Chesterfield based Liza Bakes will be offering tastings of her Orange Polenta Cake and Sticky Toffee pudding (both of which have won Great Taste Awards recently), and Buxton Puddings join us with tastings of their fantastic Moorland Pudding and Buxton Pudding.
"On both days we'll be offering tastings and information on a wealth of other Derbyshire products, including Derbyshire cheeses from Franjoy Dairy and Hartington Creamery, chutneys and relishes from The Quirky Cook plus new season, and just arrived, local honey – from apiaries located nearby at Mickleover, Etwall and Hilton. Add to this our fresh delivery of artisan real bread from The Loaf at Crich on Saturday morning, plus gorgeous fresh seasonal Derbyshire veggies and mushrooms. A feast made in….Derbyshire!
"Brown and Green is located at Derby Garden Centre, Alfreton Road, Little Eaton, Derby, DE21 5DB. Free parking, wheelchair and pushchair friendly, restaurant, large garden centre and pet store on site – come and see us!"
