The Story of Rhubarb & Liquorice

Nature’s Sweetest Secret

Rhubarb & Liquorice: A Perfect Pair

At the heart of our fields, you’ll find two timeless treasures: rhubarb and liquorice. Bold, distinctive, and steeped in history, these plants have been cherished for centuries—and we’re proud to grow them with care. Whether you’re here to savor their unique flavors or explore their natural benefits, we’ve got you covered.

Rhubarb: Tart, Tangy, and Full of Character

Rhubarb isn’t just for pies (though we love those too). This striking crimson stalk is a celebration of sweet-sharp balance. We grow a range of rhubarb varieties, each with its own personality. Our early-forced rhubarb is delicate and tender, perfect for desserts or a refreshing compote. Later-season field rhubarb packs a punch with its bolder, more robust flavor.

Beyond taste, rhubarb is a natural powerhouse. It’s rich in antioxidants and a good source of fiber, making it a delicious way to support digestion and overall well-being. Plus, it’s delightfully versatile—from jams to cocktails, there’s no limit to how you can enjoy it.

Liquorice: Sweet, Soothing, and Surprisingly Complex

Few plants boast a history as rich as liquorice. Used for millennia in traditional remedies and prized for its unmistakable sweetness, liquorice root is a true classic. We cultivate both sweet and savory varieties, each offering a distinctive twist.

Our traditional black liquorice delivers a deep, earthy sweetness that lingers on the palate. Prefer a gentler touch? Our milder varieties offer a smoother, more subtle flavor. Beyond their delicious taste, liquorice roots are known for their soothing qualities—often used to calm digestion and ease the throat.

Rooted in History, Grown for Today

Rhubarb and liquorice have traveled through time, crossing continents and cultures. Rhubarb’s journey began in ancient China, where it was prized for its medicinal properties before making its way to European kitchens. Liquorice, too, boasts an impressive lineage, with roots tracing back to ancient Egypt and Greece, where it was valued both as a treat and a tonic.

Today, we continue these age-old traditions while embracing modern methods. Every stalk and root is nurtured with respect for the land, ensuring you get the best nature has to offer—from our fields to your table.
