News and events

In this month's Pulse, True Food celebrates getting together to share food with big lunches, picnics plus lots of events to take part in...

Diana Earnshaw offers top tips and recipes to make the best of the picnic season. So grab your blankets, baskets, food, family and friends and get out into the great outdoors!

There are very few natural foods that supply such a broad range of important nutrients, in a form which is easy to assimilate for us humans. Cheese is up there near the top of the list.

Village Maid Cheese is based at Risely, 10 miles from the True Food Shop. Village Maid Cheese was started by Anne Wigmore in 1986.  Together with her husband Andy, and staff, the company now produce three award-winning cheeses.

True Food’s members own and run the business, but we also have a small and dedicated core of five paid staff members who keep the show on the road, each with their own specific role. Charlotte Hawkins found out more about the team, their jobs and why they enjoy being a part of True Food.

“..Of cabbages and kings”! A line from The Walrus and the Carpenter – one of my favourites in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. A very appropriate line, as the very hardy January King cabbages are still available at True Food.

At True Food we always price our food honestly, and that is why you may have noticed that the price of broccoli and some other imported vegetables went through the roof a few weeks ago.

One of True Food's most important principles is that we source as much local food as possible.
