English Cheese!

3/17/2014

We have been at Stroud Farmers Market this weekend in the most glorious sunshine, such a treat for a weekend in March! 
Stroud Farmers Market was voted the best farmers market in the country in 2013 and we were delighted to be able to be a part of it, selling in the threadneedle flea market.

The market has got a REALLY French feel, all the stalls are local the quality of food is exceptional and it is even all situated in a gorgeous place du marche, just like in France. It is paradise if you are craving a holiday, a mini break in a morning!
John was in his element with a coffee and apricot croissant to start the day and then we treated ourselves to a delicious selection of local English cheeses to take on a picnic in the afternoon, I think this may become a Saturday ritual as we enjoyed it so much! 
This week we chose:  goats cheese from the Windrush Valley Goat Dairy, really funky  and goaty, in a good way and so soft and smooth we had the peppered one and the chive they were both great, particularly the chive. The  Bath  Soft Cheese was our favourite, delicious brie like cheese, so creamy. And Jonathan Crump's Single Gloucester Cheese , we described it as a Tomme du Savoie but a bit more chalky, quite unusual and we discovered that it is delicious with nettle soup!

Here are a few photos of our stall this week, the Spring stock is coming out and we are definitely going to be doing the market in Stroud weekly until the end of the summer.

    John and Hannah

    We live between Bristol, UK and Averyon, France with baby Luna and Oumai the dog. We love, buy, restore, transform and sell vintage french stuff.

     John (French) is a trained furniture maker who gets really excited about aesthetic, quality objects from the past and bringing old things back to life again.

    Hannah (English)  studied Anthropology at Goldsmiths university and went onto  to learn Red Dzao embroidery in North Vietnam. She really appreciates traditional ways of working and all things handmade.  She particularly loves textiles but collects all sorts of objects and delights in putting them together in surprising ways.

    We are firm believers in 'waste not want not' and are trying our best to create a business that works in a way that benefits rather than profits. Circulating money amongst ethical business and good people.
