Spotlight on the seller - The Seasonal Larder

The Seasonal Larder

grow local - preserve local - think global

We produce handmade preserves inspired by and made from  local  &  seasonal  fruits,  vegetables,  flowers  and herbs, Our range varies throughout the year but includes: 

Cordials & Syrups

Jellies & Jams

Relishes

Fruit Sauces

Fruit Ketchups & Savoury Sauces

Dried Fruits

The  main  ingredients  for  all  our  products  are  always grown within 50 miles of our base in LS25. We get our fruit,  vegetables,  herbs  &  flowers  from  a  mix  of commercial growers, wild food and swapping with people who have grown more in their garden or allotment than they can use.

We take this approach because we believe that with the increasing  pressures  on  food  production  around the world, it just makes sense to use as much as possible of the  fantastic  and  varied  produce  that  grows all  around us.

Fabrication cited as model business incubator

A report commissioned by Leeds City Council and Leeds Metropolitan University has praised Fabrication as "a model that could be used to grow the [independent] sector"
“Rising costs, fierce competition and growth of internet sales have taken a heavy toll on the UK high street, with independent retailers coming under increasing pressure. 

The report, launched on 25th April, calls for more support for independent businesses in the city


“There’s a real need for traditional business support in the form of mentoring and financial advice, together with more sector-specific support with things like merchandising, customer service and in-store promotion."

Councillor Richard Lewis, Leeds City Council’s executive board member for development and economy said “Independent retailers make a major contribution to the city’s vibrancy and attractiveness. We need to support their entrepreneurial flair and, if we are going to reverse the trend of recent years, create more opportunities for independent and small traders to open new shops and succeed, both in the city centre and in local communities.”

Dawn Wood, Fabrication founder, who attended the launch, welcomes the report and calls for more independent retail representation on the city's retail association.
