Alder Tree Listed in Rose Prince's The Good Food Producers Guide 2010

We are thrilled that the well known food writer and Daily Telegraph columnist has included us in her

top food guide!

 

"Usually when ice cream is made on a farm it is because it is a dairy farm, but in this case it is the

soft fruit grown by the Hardingham family that is the important factor.  You can come here to buy or

pick your own, but also to buy the fruit cream ice, so-called because there is more fruit than anything

else in the pot.  It is also, uniquely, free from any additives such as fillers and gums.  It is shocking

how many 'artisan' ice cream-makers use skimmed milk, etc.  The business is now run by

Stephany, Nick and Joan Hardingham's savvy daughter, and you can buy the ice creams in a number

of outlets."

 

Alder Tree Scoop Great Taste Awards!!

  We are delighted to announce that Alder Tree have been awarded

  4 Great Taste Awards by the Guild of Fine Foods this year!

  We received the highest award of 3-stars for both our Tayberry and

  our Damson flavour, indicating that the expert judges considered

  them 'faultless'. Out of nearly 5,000 entries only 83 received 3 gold

stars so we are thrilled to have received two of them!

 

We were also awarded 2-stars for our Gooseberry & Elderflower and 1-star for our newest

flavour Toffee Apple.

 

'To win gold at the Great Taste Awards is a terrific achievement but to win a 2-star or

3-star means joining Britain's elite' Charles Campion, Food Critic.

                             

 

Alder Tree Goes Green (er)

We are proud to announce that our 100ml pots are now all made from Forestry

Stewardship Certified (FSC) paper.  We are constantly trying to reduce and

minimise our impact on the natural environment but the options available for

frozen products have always been fairly limited.  We chose to use poly-

propylene which is generally considered one of the 'greener' plastics, but

are delighted we can now supply our 100ml pots in sustainably produced paper.

We are now looking into the best option for our 500ml containers which we

are likely to change in the autumn of 2009.
