Otter Farm

Otter Farm is everything to do with Mark's food and garden writing, his edible garden design, as well as the nursery of edible plants and seeds.

Otter Farm was a perennial paradise of herbs, spices, fruit and vegetables: there are orchards of pecans, almonds, Szechuan pepper and local rare apple varieties, as well as a vineyard and forest garden. Having established the farm, Mark Diacono now runs the nursery that sprang from it, and is lucky enough to spend most of his time eating, growing, writing and talking about food. He has written ma

ny award-winning books, including 'A Year at Otter Farm' and 'A Taste of the Unexpected' which both won Food Book of the Year, and 'The New Kitchen Garden' which won Gardening Book of the Year. He's written four books for River Cottage and was involved in the team in the early years. Mark lectures, gives talks and demos, hosts events and show theatres across the country and internationally, and writes for numerous publications including The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Simple Things. Mark takes the photographs on the Otter Farm website, in his books and articles, as well as being commissioned to shoot for others.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORTNUM & MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS

I’m totally over the moon to announce that I’ve been shortlisted in the hugely prestigious Fortnum and Mason Food and Drink Awards, in the Food Writer category, for ABUNDANCE, the book I am writing live, in weekly instalments, on Substack, here

https://markdiacono.substack.com

This is a huge deal - the F&Ms are really something, and for a Substack to make it into a category like this is a real moment.

Of course, without people subscribing and reading, I may as well scribble in my note book. So if you are subscribing, congratulations to you too - we are shortlisted and I couldn’t be more delighted.

If you aren’t subscribed, please click on the link above and see if you might like to subscribe - it would be great to have your company - instalments will land in your inbox once a weekish. There are so many brilliant writers on substack, whatever you may be into. If you are thinking of creating a substack of your own, do it - I couldn’t love it more and it might just become your writing home.

Being shortlisted out of all food writers is really the thing to celebrate - congratulations to them too; the winner might easily be any of those it has been whittled down to - so let’s raise a glass/coffee/smile.

A huge thank you from me to anyone subscribing (or about to) for making it happen.

We have 50 hardback copies of my most recent book SPICE/a cook’s companion that are available free (just p&p to pay) for anyone in a tricky way financially this Christmas.

Even more people than usual are up against it this year, so if you are short of a present for someone who likes cooking, head off to www.otterfarm.co.uk and order*, no explanation needed.

Obviously, please don’t order it free if that’s not you - you are very welcome to one at half price, or if you can afford it, at full price** and I’ll send out more free books (1 and 3 respectively) courtesy of you.

It’s a ridiculously tiny p**s in the austerity wind but better than nothing.

*limited one book per order

**if you order anything else at the same time the p&p will be all but covered by the book

Discover Otter Farm and 17 acres dedicated to flavour! Learn about every step in the journey from pot to plate, with Mark Diacono and his expert team.
