The Aga Shop celebrates its passion for fresh local ingredients with their local food producers

Our beautiful showroom in Vale Farm proudly hosted a day dedicated to the delights and quality of locally produced foods. Demonstrator James McIntosh was on hand to cook up an assortment of delicious dishes. James used a number of locally sourced ingredients in his menu, and illustrated the unique ways in which an Aga cookes food to perfection!

We were proud to have some of our partner producers as guest speakers at our event. Shawn Haddaway of Darn Spice chatted to guests about his company, introducing them to his exciting products including spice rubs, a daring (yet delicious) chilli-chocolate and his award winning chilli sauce. We also had Fraser of Pink Syrups discussing his and tasty products which include delicious fruit syrups (which happen to be award winning too!).

Our various producers set up attractive stalls within the shop - giving a real market feel to our showroom. From the dairy delights from Adderson Dairy, to fresh vegetables from Garden Friends, home produced meats from Browns of Stagsden and the chillies, plants and sauces of Edible Ornaments - each producer was a proud testiment of the great range of foods we have on our doorstep.  And for something a little different, we had local business, Gilly's Jewellery, displaying beautiful handmade necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

All our customers agreed it was a great event and they loved the support and encouragement we gave to our local, independant suppliers and producers. We loved our producers enthusiasm and dedication just as much - and hope to work with them again in the near future!
