James says: "I am extremely proud to be using produce from the Husbandry school, as it is not only some the best in Devon, it is also some the best I have ever used!!!"

The
Wholesome
Food
Association
 
We are proud to be affiliated members of The Wholesome Food Association and are more than happy to be guided by their principles in our work here.

The Wholesome Food Association is a network of growers, processors, suppliers and distributors of authentic, locally-grown, wholesome food, and also a campaigning organisation, promoting smaller-scale, sustainable food production. They provide a low-cost labelling scheme for marketing wholesome, locally grown food, as an alternative to the expense and complications of regular 'organic' certification (see the WFA website for full details). Look out for the WFA symbol as the scheme grows!
