it’s british food fortnight and we’re celebrating by showcasing the best the south west has to offer with a focus on our local producers.
today we’re highlighting rod & ben’s organic soups.
Rod & Ben’s are independent producers of organic soups based near Exeter in East Devon.
The eponymous Rod was producing organic vegetables for a veg box scheme when he came to the decision that he didn’t want anything to go to waste. The idea to make tasty, nutritious soups from any left over vegetables soon formed and recipes tried out in his kitchen. The results were sold at a local market and Rod & Ben’s was born.
With a passion for organic produce and sustainability the Rod & Ben’s range changes with the seasons. We are currently able to supply the following flavours, all available in retail cases of 6x600g pots (pre-order required):

KALE, SPINACH & BLACK PEA
