Sesame Snaps and Barleycup - oh yes!

At Biona organic, we believe in great tasting, thoughtfully prepared food to complement an ethical lifestyle. Our farmers don't use chemical pesticides or herbicides on crops, and they don't grow genetically modified plants. We also make sure they only use sustainable farming methods and do not work their land intensively. And because we believe in 100% traceability for all our products, we know all our ingredients are of the highest quality, completely natural and suitable for vegetarians.

One thing you learn when you make fudge, is that it all just somehow happens'or not. It's so easy for it to go slightly, or completely, wrong - it happened to us once. Yes, we burnt the sugar (but only once). It wasn't all bad because it made us realise we needed a little reminder - to make sure we never did it again. So that's what we called ourselves - Burnt Sugar - (because we also realised we needed a name).

Cartmel is the home of Sticky Toffee. It’s something we’re very proud of, as we are of our 12th century Priory and the racecourse which runs straight past the Village Shop
