We have an excellent relationship with local farmers in the surrounding areas, giving us a fantastic supply of fresh seasonal produce. Trying to source as local as possible to moderate food miles, only when we must do we source from further afield. Sourcing from local growers and makers as much as we possibly can is really important to us at Heritage. We believe it helps to build more resilient communities. You can read more about some of our suppliers over on our blog.
Run by one of Ken Mortimer‘s oldest friend and his sons. Most of Bromham parish lies on the only area of Lower Greensand soil type in the county. It also has a unique micro-climate, which means produce matures earlier than elsewhere in the UK. Both these factors combined give fantastic fertility for growing and so the farm can offer a wide range of produce. This also makes Paget‘s Farm an exception to the rule in the horticulture industry – it continues to grow a variety of produce, rather than specialising in one crop, which is the way most other growers have now gone. Paget‘s is renowned for more niche vegetables, including purple cauiflower, a variety of squashes, beetroot, cavolo nero, kale and especially bunched carrots.

A firm favourite in the office, Isle of Wight Blue cheese was first made in 2006 and is a naturally rinded soft cheese made with pasteurised milk. Sold at 3-5 weeks of age and has a 8-week shelf life, being naturally rinded, it is covered in green, blue, grey and white moulds. These give the cheese bags of character and the variety of surface moulds that grow on the rind will make it stand out on any cheeseboard. When the cheese is sold at 3-4 weeks it has a relatively mild blue flavour but expect it to accelerate quickly so that by the time it is at the end of its best before date, the flavour will be a lot spikier than when it was young.
This cheese has been a multiple medal winner at the World, British and International Cheese Awards, most notably winning Best English Cheese at The World Cheese Awards and Best Vegetarian Cheese at the 2019 Artisan Cheese Awards in Melton Mowbray.
Tom and Neil met at the University of Plymouth and there began a lifelong friendship. Together with their families, they began The Open Air Dairy with a vision for how dairy farming could be done differently.
The farm is home to 800 free-range cows. Nestled in the beautiful Dorset countryside the cows live outside all year round, grazing and roaming freely. To make it even gentler for the cows they don’t even get brought in for milking, the milking parlour is taken to them wherever they have wandered.
This cheddar has a delicious rich distinctive flavour.
