The kitchen Pantry
Stepping into the Fat Tomato pantry is like entering a working larder — where ingredients from the garden are cooked, preserved, and left to mature with time and care.
Here, flavour is built slowly. Some recipes return year after year; others are made just once, shaped entirely by the harvest that produced them. What happens next is guided by taste, balance, and patience.
This is where the garden becomes something to share.

OUR GARDEN OFFERS NEW FLAVOURS TO TASTE AND ENJOY EVERY YEAR
Weather and time are two things we cannot control. The rest is about paying attention.
Since 2016, the garden has produced harvests that shift from year to year. Some seasons are defined by peaches and damsons; others by chillies, squashes, berries, or tomatoes. Each brings its own rhythm and set of decisions.
When flavour is at its best, part of the harvest is preserved — transformed into condiments, ferments, chutneys, sauces, jams, jellies, syrups, and drinks. These are not made to a fixed plan, but in response to what the season offers and how ingredients behave in the kitchen.
Some jars rest for months before they’re ready; others improve quietly over years. What we make, how much we make, and whether it ever returns is shaped entirely by that moment in time.

SUPPORTING THE
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Anything we bring into the Fat Tomato pantry must meet the same standards as what we grow ourselves. Ingredients are chosen for flavour, integrity, and the people behind them.
Where possible, we source directly and locally. We use raw honey, sea salt, and butter from producers in Wexford we know and trust. Our organic citrus comes from trees we have adopted through the CrowdFarming platform in Italy, Sicily, and Spain, allowing us to work closely with growers and harvest fruit at its best.
Extra virgin olive oil is sourced directly from organic producers or specialists who understand the craft behind it. Spices and raw cane sugar are organic and carefully chosen — always to support, not overshadow, the flavour of the harvest.
Nothing anonymous. Nothing unnecessary.
