Chef’s day at the farm a great success

On 12th July a number of local chefs came along to the farm, heard about what we’re doing, picked their own produce and produced some tantalising treats. It was a truly inspiring day that celebrated the wonderful seasonal vegetables that can be found in the local area.

The chefs were given the freedom of the farm to harvest a selection of the produce and create a range of dishes. Cooking on a wood fire, they then came together to produce a menu that included a summer veg soup, a stirfry broccoli salad, a beetroot and onion chutney and a broad bean puree.

Josh Eggleton from the Pony and Trap said: “The ethos of the Pony and Trap is to use sustainably produced, local, fresh produce and The Community Farm ticks all those boxes. The vegetables grown here are fantastic and we are lucky to be able to put them on the menu every single day”.

Josh Eggleton and team from the Pony & Trap, Jamie Gardner from Yeo Valley, Barny Haughton from Bordeaux Quay, Jamie Pike from Co-Exist plus talented chefs from the Harbourside, Canteen and Ethicurean all joined us.
