CREATING READY PREPARED WHOLESOME MEALS DELIVERED
TO YOUR DOOR
Leanne Duerden and Gillian Webster met at Myerscough College
in 1998 and after successfully acquiring a National Diploma
in Agriculture and also graduating in 2004 with First Class
Honours (Gillian - 24) and Upper Second Class Honours (Leanne
- 25).
With their strong farming backgrounds and a genuine love
for the industry they wanted to pursue a project that would
keep them close to British Farming and make folk more aware
of how important it is to buy local quality produce.
 Their
ideas pointed towards the specialist food sector and they
applied to LEADER+ for help towards setting up their business
through the purchase of kitchen equipment and utensils.
They are now producing a range of classic handmade soups,
oven ready meals and desserts - good home cooking, frozen
for convenience!
For the people of Morland real food is just around the corner
and for those in other parts of Cumbria it is merely a click
away www.mellowmeadow.co.uk!
Based in the picturesque village of MORLAND in the heart
of the Eden Valley - "Mellow Meadows' food to come home"
products are produced from inside an historic 1800s stone
built barn. Future plans include opening a coffee bar and
special deli coming soon.

Some comments from Gillian and Leanne
"Not many people can say they know how to grow a
field of vegetables or rear livestock and then take this knowledge
and use it to produce great tasting food - growing up on the
farm has given me the ability to do this." - Gillian
(G)
"People have told us time and time again that our
food is just like real home-cooking - tasty and delicious,
just what you need to come home to." (L)
"….our frozen meals only contain wholesome natural
locally produced ingredients. Unlike most ready meals available
today, we don't add preservatives, additives, colourings or
flavourings." (G)
"Traceability is really important to us. We know
that we use the best ingredients, but we want our customers
to understand why we choose the products we do."
(G)
"….absolutely, we want to help and support small
local producers, like ourselves."(L)
