Producer spotlight: Northern Pasta Co.

We're delighted to introduce a new, incredibly exciting addition to the Farmfetch family: Northern Pasta Co.! This small-batch British pasta maker is redefining what it means to eat well – with joy, sustainability, and serious flavour.

From island living to British grains

Northern Pasta Co. was founded by husband-and-wife duo Imogen and Matt. Their culinary journey gathered pace on a Croatian island, where they embraced a lifestyle centred around locally sourced, seasonal food. Upon returning to the UK during the pandemic, Imogen started working at a local artisan bakery, where she discovered the potential of British grains. This experience sparked the idea of creating pasta using these nutritious, flavourful grains.

Recognising a gap in the market for high-quality, British-made pasta, Imogen and Matt began experimenting in their kitchen. Their efforts culminated in the launch of Northern Pasta Co., with their products initially sold at a local food market in Kendal, Cumbria.

Pasta with purpose

Northern Pasta Co. crafts its pasta using UK-grown spelt flour, sourced from regenerative farms. This ancient grain imparts a nutty flavour and hearty texture, making their pasta both delicious and easier to digest. Their commitment to sustainability extends beyond ingredients: the pasta is egg-free, slow-dried, and bronze-cut, ensuring it clings beautifully to sauces while being kind to the planet.

Operating from their solar-powered facility just outside Kendal, the team emphasises small-batch production, allowing for meticulous attention to quality and flavour.

Why we love Northern Pasta Co.

Northern Pasta Co. exemplifies the fusion of traditional techniques with modern sustainability. Their dedication to using British grains, supporting regenerative agriculture, and producing pasta with integrity aligns perfectly with our values at Farmfetch.

We're particularly fond of their Fusilli, which pairs wonderfully with robust tomato sauces or fresh pesto. Another standout is the Casarecce (pictured above, from a charred courgette, lemon & pancetta recipe), ideal for creamy mushroom dishes or hearty ragùs.
