Tell us what readers can expect when they find you at the Ludlow Food & Spring Festival? 

Hand crafted products suitable for food & drink with unique one off pieces made especially for our favourite show.

 

How did SYTCH FARM STUDIOS start?

By accident, a hobby became a passion which became our income.

What is special about SYTCH FARM STUDIOS?

Everything we sell is made by us, we’re talented buggers ( Jon said that ) honest hand crafted traditional products that have been given a contemporary feel.

 

What is our best-selling product? Why do you think this is?

Impossible to say - produce such a varied range, customers tend to buy to suit their needs and style.

 

With all that has been achieved in your business so far, what are you most proud of?

 The recognition we have received for our products from some of the top restaurants and chefs in the country - we always aimed to produce products that enhanced the dining/eating experience and to be told regularly that this is what we have done does give us a buzz.

 

What are you looking forward to most about the Ludlow Food & Spring Festival?

We love meeting the serious food people who come to this show, not to get free samples but to talk to the producers and engage with us, it feels like our journey is continuing as we talk to customers old and new.
