The Yellow Bicycle Cafe in Blandford Forum has become the first café or restaurant in the country to join Seasonarians, a national organisation promoting local, seasonal produce.

Owner and chef Steve Bell said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have joined their ever increasing list of growers, dairies, farms and producers who believe in the benefits of this approach to the environment, animal welfare and the local economy.”

“Their aims fit exactly with ours, to make sure our customers know exactly where their food comes from and to help them eat more seasonal, local produce. Throughout the pandemic, so many people have appreciated the availability of local foods from Dorset’s wonderful farmers, farm shops and producers. We are delighted to work with Seasonarians to help
continue to grow this link between local producers and people’s plates.”

All the café’s meat and dairy ingredients and deli items come from local, named farms and producers. This spring they will be increasing their focus on local fruit, vegetables and seasonings.

Steve added: “We shall also be adopting the Seasonarians’ ‘Traffic Light System’ on the menu and in the deli, helping customers know exactly where their food came from.”

Yellow Bicycle won the South West England Tourism Awards Cafe of the Year in 2020 and the Dorset Tourism Awards Cafe of the Year in 2019.
Steve won National Breakfast Chef of the Year in 2018 and now serves on the judging panel.
