Scholes, the innovative farming business from the Yorkshire Wolds, will be showcasing its new products at the prestigious York Festival of Food & Drink on Monday September 22, at 11.30am.
In the setting of York’s Guildhall, celebrity chef Rachel Green will be demonstrating specially-created recipes using Scholes’ unique frozen flageolet beans, which until now have either been imported in dried or tinned form and its chicory, dubbed the Yorkshire Endive, as well as some of the company’s squashes range.
The event, known as the Chef’s Produce Day, is an event devised to show to consumers and members of the food industry alike, the range of produce that is available in the region.
The demonstration will be followed by lunch, when the audience will have the chance to taste some of the dishes.
Scholes’ managing director Rachel Scholes said: “We are really looking forward to introducing our new produce to this particularly discerning public. I think they will be amazed and delighted to learn that [the beans] they had always thought had to be imported, is now for the first time being grown in Britain.”
