Firstly, we’d like to introduce James, our new Kindling Farm Grower. James has a vast amount of experience in the food world. He spent 5 years working as Head Chef at Riverford's Field Kitchen before taking the helm at Britain's first organic pub, The Bull Inn, Devon (so he is well used to working with quality fresh food and working at a hard and fast pace). Later he made the move into the growing side of things and we are delighted to have James join us after 2 years at Field 28 in Cheshire.
