Here at littleseed we believe the little things make a big impact! We wanted to share with you some of the things we do to make a difference and how you can make a difference too.

As parents we always want to do the very best for our kids and make sure they consume a varied and healthy diet, but when your kids go on veg strike, just getting 5 portions of the good stuff in can seem like a struggle. So what can we do as parents?

Lambing is one of the busiest times on the farm. Long hours and sleepless nights are aplenty, and the farm team are on standby day and night.

Intuitive eating involves learning to listen to our body’s biological hunger needs whilst honouring health, by eating the range of foods needed to consume a nutritionally balanced diet.

Which cooking oil is best for our and our family’s health, which is the best quality, which is the best value? We have enlisted the help of an expert to bust some of the myths around cooking oils.

A tray of roasted veg is a great way to cut down on food waste and both our Extra Virgin British rapeseed oil and our Garlic & Herb rapeseed oil are both great for combining with a selection of chopped veggies for roasting.
