July is here and along with the end of Wimbledon apparently there’s a big sporting event just around the corner. If you’re sitting in the garden listening to the wireless or slumped on the sofa watching the big event on TV, you might like a treat from our new roducer, Hope Valley Ice Cream, or if you’re really wanting to ‘Fly the Flag’ a pot of Handmade by Hadley’s ice cream could hit the mark.We’d also like you to welcome celebrity chef Alan Coxon to the trail. Alan produces a unique multi award winning historic food range, that fits nicely with the coming sporting events too - if you’re intrigued, visit his page to find out how. Rapeseed oil is in the new at the moment and we have some of the best British producers on the AFT. This month we talk to Priya of DietitianUK to find out why it’s so good.

Thorpe Farm is home to Hope Valley ice Cream and the Mardsden family, who have been farming in the Hope Valley for over 300 years. They started making ice cream 5 years ago using the milk from their 100-strong Friesian herd and never looked back!

TV Celebrity Chef Alan Coxon has created a unique multi award winning historic food range including a Mediaeval old English Ale-Gar using an Ale recipe once drank by Queen Elizabeth 1st, a Roman Vinegar using herbs and spices favoured back then, and an Ancient Greek Vinaigre with a recipe taken from the time of the first ever Olympic games.
