FOOD Twins Gluton Free move to Mottistone T wins Margaret and Kathrine have the skills and experience to support people with gluten and wheat free dietary needs, and have recently begun using the kitchens at Mottistone Farm Shop, where their produce can now be bought. You can visit the Twins Gluton Free at the Farm Shop, or ring through your order, and recipes can be adapted for any additional dietary needs. The twins can also be found at Newport and Ryde Farmers Markets, and they have been invited to three Coeliac Food festivals over the last three years, as well as supplying Queenswood Natural Foods in Bridgwater, Somerset. Margaret said: “Using the Farmers Markets as ‘market research’ we have been overwhelmed by the feed back we get weekly. Customers love the choices, and are delighted and impressed with the quality and flavour. Using our pastry they can make their own favourite recipes at last. We have customers placing orders for the following markets and regulars coming back for more, and can’t believe the choice. But what is also exciting is that people who don’t have a gluten free dietary requirement also say our food is delicious. “We bake using local dairy cheese, goats cheese, eggs, wild beef and vegetables, all mainly supplied from other stall holders. Our pastry has been tested gluten free, dairy and soya free.” Twins Gluton Free at Mottistone Farm Shop is open 11am to 5pm, Wednesday to Sunday. Tel: (01983) 741560 or 609379.

For the past couple of months Paul Griffin at Briddlesford Farm has been supplying milk to the Wootton-based Minghella factory from his 150 Guernsey cows just a mile or so up the road. He said: “We are producing gold top Channel Island milk for their ice creams, and the feedback has been very good. We are delighted that Minghella are now using only our milk, and already people are saying they can taste the difference in the ice cream. It is obviously cutting the food miles down being so close to each other, and we are supplying what we believe to be the best milk on the Island.” Minghella have been producing their popular range of ice cream and sorbet for more than 60 years, and continue to introduce new luxury flavours into their award-winning range. Now all are made with fresh milk and cream from the nearby farms with only the finest natural ingredients and not a single drop of water. Their ice creams are suitable for vegetarians and are almost all gluten-free unless stated otherwise. www.visitilife.com 105
