Acorns are the nut-like fruit of the oak trees and whilst they provide nutritious food for many birds and animals they contain a high proportion of Tannic Acid which can be fatal to ponies and cattle. It is for this reason that pigs, which are immune to acorn poisoning, are released onto the Forest during the pannage season which starts in September.
From our first batch of all butter shortbread over 50 years ago, our skilled artisans continue to create by hand every day.
The secret is in timing and temperatures. Our baking team watch with careful attention until just right 👀
We care so much, we hand pack every box ourselves. Sustainable packaging and passion matters here in the Forest.
