Speciality Farm Foods is a small family business that began in 2007, they have since moved into an industrial unit to allow for expansion. They work with passionate farmers and artisans to supply high quality, organic, sustainable ingredients from around the world. They are currently developing their own range of traditional farm foods in the UK and have plans to open a flour mill, bakery and kitchen.
Their packaging policy is such that ingredients should be packaged using sturdy solutions. However, they've not yet found anything sturdier than a tin caddy or glass jar, for this reason most of their ingredients can be purchased loose from the site and will be in paper and foil bags.
According to their about us page they are currently looking for operations, kitchen, bakery, mill and sales staff. If you have a passion for those jobs then get in touch with Speciality farm foods!
So, let's get on to what they stock; raw cashew nuts, Mexican vanilla & vanilla extract, raw cacao products ( whole kernels, nibs, powder & butter), cacao & cashew clusters, cacao nib clusters, high quality teas and coffees (including rare teas), Bali beach salt, Himalayan salt, Tibetan salt, Tibetan salt diamonds, a variety of Indonesian peppers, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oils, Turkish kachar honey, handmade coconut palm sugar, infused coconut palm sugar, Vermont maple syrup, Vermont maple sugar, cardamom, nutmeg, coriander seeds, wild cinnamon, tamarind (in shell), along with other spices and culinary tools.
Review
We are IN LOVE with this store, if you love food then you should be too! But before we get to the food let's get down to the basics; the prices are reasonable, they have seasonal offers (we'll list the current ones at the bottom of this post), their delivery rate is super fast, they are cheaper than specialist raw shops for most items, and everything is really high quality.
So, what have we tried? The Bali beach pyramid crystal sea salts that they stock are delicious and more than worth giving a go, the handmade coconut palm sugar is the best quality palm sugar that we've come across in the UK, the Indonesian long peppercorns are brilliant and add a really intense flavour to your food, the jasmine honey pearl green tea (also known as jasmine dragon pearls) are a delight - they're softly scented, and have a delicate flavour that really helps you unwind during or after a long stressful day, and finally, the Indonesian raw cashews are the most yummy, buttery cashews that we have ever tasted (luckily for you they are on offer right now!).
This year we aim to give the maple sugar and maple syrup, Mexican vanilla, extra virgin olive oil and wild cinnamon a go (we'll post a review when we do!)
Check the store out here and let us know what you think!
Current offers:
1kg Indonesian raw cashews for £15 (usual price £30)
5 Litres of Unfiltered, Organic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil for £56.07 (usual price £75.96)
Handwoven Mexican Vanilla Sculpture for £3.88 (usual price £7.75)
Handmade rare Tea Caddy for £21 (usual price £30).
our favourite product is: 2kg tub of handmade coconut palm sugar for £30. Yes, we do know that it sounds like a lot to spend on sugar, but we only use 40g per cake and it's suitable for Em - we'll do a post on that later!
Hope you've had a lovely day,
