Jo and Victoria have developed an award-winning range of home baking mixes, after discovering that very few of their friends made fresh cookies or cakes. They found that many people didn’t have the knowledge, ingredients or inclination to cook from scratch, instead preferring packet mixes.

Each of Scarlet Bakes mixes are made with only the best ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible, and created to be simple to make. They pride themselves on the absence of anything artificial to ensure the finished product is tasty and fabulous.

With three Great Taste Awards, why not watch the video featuring Jo to see how the cookie mixes are made?

Why not treat the one you love to something uniquely Hampshire?

Greenfield Pork Products, a long-standing regular stall-holder from Hampshire Farmers Markets, took home four gold awards and the Champion Pork Speciality Sausage cup in the 3 Counties Sausage and Pie Competition.

The competition recognises the work of speciality food producers across Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire, judged by 25 independent industry food experts. The awards took place at the The Swan in Streatley on 25th January 2012.

Martin Martindale, and son Tom, of Greenfield Pork Products credits his success: “to the fantastic team effort and the attention to detail which is paid to every single product. Our own free-range pigs and breeding quality ensure we can monitor and improve our products through every stage of production.”

Alex Handford, Business Manager, Hampshire Farmers Markets, comments: “We’re proud to host so many award-winning producers, which helps our consumers understand they are getting fantastic value for money for top quality county produce.”

Sausages are recognised as a growing sector, and in the UK we eat approximately 182,800 tonnes of sausages worth £560m, with the top quality premium sausage sector growing almost 10% between 2010 and 2011.

You can find more award-winning, truly local produce, by visiting your local Hampshire Farmers Markets venue, with dates and times available to download on this website.
