How Pollen Organics true taste came to be...

It all started in the family kitchen with an aga and Christianne’s dream of making food that would help other busy people to prepare delicious, easy meals with true tasting products they can trust.

Some years later the dream came true and Richard Pollen soon became fully involved in running the business with Christianne as it expanded beyond the confines of the kitchen. Having built up his own successful marketing and public relations agency, his sales and marketing skills, in particular, came into force.

From that point on, the Pollen business grew and grew – starting with a stall at local farmers markets and then into farm shops, delis and good food stores, online sites and selected supermarkets across the entire UK.

At the beginning of 2009, a new branding was launched under the banner ‘dedicated to true taste’ which has helped the business achieve further growth and provide the impetus to expand into export markets.

Pollen now holds 27 national food awards for quality and taste across its current range and is constantly developing new recipes to excite and entice the palates of those who enjoy the true taste of real food.

Kitchen Garden Foods

At KITCHEN GARDEN FOODS we have been making top quality jams, chutneys, marmalades and condiments under the KITCHEN GARDEN label since 1989 when Barbara Moinet cooked up her firs tbatch of Blackberry and Apple Jam in the kitchen of her Gloucestershire cottage.

The small town of Stroud on the edge of the Cotswold Hills, where the company is now based, has a long and honourable tradition of artisan manufacturing – cloth, beer, walking sticks – to name but a few. The old stone-built mills which cluster around the canal, railway, the river Frome and its tributaries, are a reminder of the hard work and determination which helped to build this part of Gloucestershire (known as the Five Valleys) and give it the character which is still in evidence today.

In the building that was formerly the Stroud Brewery, where Kitchen Garden is now based, you will find a hive of activity. You will know when you’ve arrived – not from the heady mix of malt and hops from the old days, but equally tantalising – the delicious aroma of soft fruit and spices.

Still true to our founding principles, we have never felt the need to change our production methods nor compromise on quality. Everything sold under the Kitchen Garden label is made in the Cotswolds by our team of talented and enthusiastic cooks and they do it just the way it always has been done.
