Ali`s Homemade Produce
ALI’S HOMEMADE PRODUCE was born in October 2013 but it started a long time before then. My granny taught my mum to cook, my mum taught me and from an early age I can always remember the garden brimming full of fruits and veggies – and they were never wasted. Jams were made, crumbles, cakes, pies and chutneys stirred with tireless love. This is where my love of cooking began. My savoury and sweet pastries are made using as much local produce from Dorset. Things are used when they’re at their best so some my products are only available when things are in season. I make everything by hand in small batches so it’s a labour of love.
Keep an eye on my facebook page – Ali’s Homemade Produce – for where I am.

Filthy Fit
Filthy Fit is a health conscious brand that expresses our passion, happy eating and living. We gathered our skills together and created some pretty unusual, but delicate nut and seed butters.
My husband and I always dreamed about having our own business one day. In the end of 2020 we finally had an idea that really made us excited and we started experimenting almost immediately.
Our uniqueness especially are the savoury flavours that can be used in cooking – just imagine stuffed mushrooms with a garlic and cayenne spiced almond butter, a ravioli with Italian herb flavoured peanut butter, or a burger with curry spiced peanut butter.
Our assortment is refined sugar free, palm oil free, preservative free, and we only use natural ingredients in our products.
We would love to be known as a brand that has the most unique and exciting nut and seed butters on the market.

MA BOLTON
Ma Bolton came about in name as friends called me Ma a nickname for the baker who just liked to feed everyone. With two sons starting out life with a dairy intolerance and myself with a wheat intolerance, free from food experimentation became essential to a food lover such as myself. I take a great deal of joy in providing great tasting gluten free food for those who often have to miss out on favorite treats. I continue to enjoy the creative process of a new recipe idea. All of my food is gluten free with a good proportion being dairy free and always an egg free option too.

Duir Soap
Hello, my name is Jane, and I am the face behind Duir Soap…. You will see me at most of the Markets at Best in Dorset, Westbourne, Bridport, Weymouth & Blandford.
My Green Man watches over me when I soap and keeps me centred. Why the name Duir? Well, Duir means Oak and is the seventh tree of the Ogham…. (pronounced Oh-ham) Yes, I am a bit of tree hugger and Oak resonates most with me….
My soap varies from Tea Soap (vegan) with added Almond Oil, Coconut & Mango Butter to Hoptastic Soap made with a local beer from Sandbanks Brewery based in Poole with Lardate, Coconut & Olive Oil. All are free from palm oil, SLS & Parabens.
Tested on my family & friends, & Finn & Yuki, our dirty paw doggies !

Dorseteco
Dorseteco is a family run business based near Blandford, our aim is simply to encourage others to think about what they buy and to encourage them to change some of their habits over to more sustainable products, from our environmentally friendly, compostable, biodegradable range. We are constantly on the look out for other eco friendly products and we sell from the local markets in Dorchester, Westbourne, Weymouth and Swanage and can be found at other events across the county.
Our main seller is the range of blankets, rugs and throws made entirely from recycled plastic bottles by Weaver Green, these amazing products have to be seen to be believed. We loved the fact that they had found a way to use the bottles that would’ve otherwise ended up in landfill or our oceans. Weaver Green have now recycled over 170 million bottles!
We are very proud to sell the Bridport based Elephant Box range of stainless steel containers. The range includes snack boxes, lunch boxes, storage containers, water bottles and insulated thermos flasks. These containers are built to last a lifetime out of already recycled stainless steel and will mean you never need to buy a plastic container again.
Come and see us at one of the markets, we look forward to meeting you soon.
