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.
