The British Food Revolution is here: Why you should be buying Artisan Food & Drinks from this Online Marketplace
The Earth & Ocean Food Company® - a new UK company - is championing all things local, small batch, independent and handmade for the the British food and drink industry.
Inviting foodies to discover the exciting variety of food & drinks being created across the country, as well as offering ‘community perks’ like Articles, Recipes and publishing Stories about the Producers and the Chefs that are creating delightful culinary experiences using sustainable and ethically made British produce.
As a broadcast cameraman and documentary maker, Founder Ash Meneely travels across the UK filming foodie television shows with celebrity Chefs and food producers and has seen (and eaten!) the quality of Food & Drinks that are being produced in this beautiful country.
Families who have been doing this for several generations and people who have literally given up their jobs follow their passion. Whatever the reason, he notes they all have clear, common characteristics: passion, quality, flavour and always a great story!
Working with celebrity Chefs, he realised that they play an integral part of discovery for foodies. Often our first experience of a new English Cheese, a Scottish Charcuterie or an Orkney Isles Vinegar, is had in a restaurant run by pioneering chef who loves sourcing locally or watching them cooking with it on a food show!
Meneely, says “For too long, the incredible UK independent Food & Drinks sector has been almost undiscoverable. Unless you happen to live close to a particular Producer how would you even start to find them? Traditional sales channels like supermarkets and national online stores are not an option for them because they either charge very large wholesale commission fees or demand large product runs - neither of which these artisans can afford. Earth & Ocean is a platform for UK Food & Drink Indies that caters to both their business model and importantly, their passion for their craft”.
The Earth & Ocean Food Company® puts these often-overlooked or undiscovered independent and artisan food & drink producers at the heart of the British ‘foodie’s’ conscience…
British food has had something of a bad reputation over the years, but thankfully consumer habits have evolved and awareness of seasonal, ethical, artisanal and local produce has exuded into the UK Foodie consciousness. Most restaurants and cafés now tout their locally sourced / seasonal menus and proudly mention their origins. To this end huge numbers of independent Producers are now springing up all over the UK to meet this demand, producing the food & drinks they love.
Earth & Ocean’s direct-to-consumer model bypasses the costs and risks associate with a wholesale, centralised model. This favours the small-batch producer, who can scale efficiently to meet demand, and develop a more direct relationship with foodie consumers. The Earth & Ocean platform brings together lots of these Producers in one place, elegantly showcasing the incredible variety and quality that the British independent Food & Drink industry is achieving now.
Producers are attracted with free account creation and one of the lowest sales commissions in the sector - putting more money back in the pocket of the Producers and their families. No risk or expensive upfront fees - a deliberate decision taken by Earth & Ocean to support these Producers.
There are now also many up-and-coming, as well as experienced Chefs, who are hugely passionate and expert in using locally sourced and sustainable produce and are leading they way in introducing the British foodie to these exciting new producers.
It's not just the British Chefs, either, that are getting passionate about local British food. Chefs from across the world are now making the UK their home because of the food revolution that is happening here - and they want to be apart of it.
They recognise that the British gourmand is actually very well travelled and we like to bring that international culinary experience home - developing a sophisticated and varied palate. The emergence of celebrity chefs over the last few decades has really opened our eyes to high quality food and drinks and we now demand them at home too!
English sparkling wine is winning international prizes, there are more varieties of cheese made in the UK than in France and wherever you look, there's local, traditional and modern innovation found in producers of butter, watercress, charcuterie, jams & chutneys, salt aged beef or a delicious range of beer made from excess bread (yes really!).
Artisan Food & Drinks in the UK are more sustainable, more ethical and more tasty than ever before.
