A Basing Bakes
, Basingstoke, Hampshire
A Basing Bakes was started in 2012 by Helen Lang who has a long history in the catering industry. Helen started as a school cook, then progressed to an agency chef and was later employed by a local golf club in their kitchen. When Helen decided to set up her own baking business, the difficulty was deciding which route to go down.
To begin with, Helen was baking primarily regular goods made with wheat flour, but she started to get requests for gluten free products. As time progressed, she heard from several friends who had Coeliac disease; they said that they couldn’t find good quality gluten free products on the high street. After looking into this and indeed trying some of these GF goods, she decided to start producing her own GF products alongside the regular goods.
The demand for GF food was so high, that in 2015 she made the decision to produce solely GF goods, and made a second kitchen dedicated to gluten free baking. She continued to sell to retail outlets until the end of 2017 and in 2018, A Basing Bakes joined Hampshire Farmer's Markets. Consequently, HFM is now the primary route to market for A Basing Bakes.

More InformationHood Hampshire Honey
, Southampton, Hampshire
, jamHood Hampshire Honey has evolved around the excess produce given by the bees which Tracey Hood manages in her spare time as a hobby. Her passion for these wonderful insects and the produce they give has developed into a small business which ensures that she can continued to keep her bees healthy and productive.
All her 20 colonies are in Southern Hampshire mainly located in Chilworth, Bassett, North Baddesley and Shirley. The honey collected is individually extracted and not blended so that each jar of honey can be traced back to the location of the hive and when it was extracted. The beeswax obtained is used to make candles and cosmetics.
Local honey is the best and remember that every penny will go back into ensuring the bees are kept in well maintained equipment, given any necessary treatments against diseases and pests and food to ensure a healthy existence which in turn ensures that they continue to pollinate and keep the human race well fed.
