About Taste Of Of The Moorlands
The business was started by Sarah Gayton, following a period of four years in Kosovo with the United Nations and with a background in environmental protection.
Sarah Gayton came back to Staffordshire in 2004 and started looking for work. By 2006, Taste Of The Moorlands was born and Sarah had a silver award for her shortbread under her belt.
Although baking runs in the family, this was not an obvious choice of career for Sarah. Returning from Kosovo, she helped her Warwickshire-based brother sell his bakery products at farmers' markets.
It was while doing this that she realised how many people sought products with a low sugar content - some because of diabetes, others simply because they were counting calories.
She also, however, wanted to use local ingredients for her bakery - or buy direct from the producer - "to keep her 'food miles' to the minimum". This meant her products would be desirable to customers from an environmental and quality point of view - as well as for their taste!
We hope you enjoy our new website, if you have any questions then please email Sarah at sarahgayton@yahoo.co.uk
