Farmhouse Biscuits<br />
Farmhouse Biscuits originates from a farm in Barrowford,<br />
Lancashire, where a busy farmers wife Dorothy McIvor,<br />
had a talent for making delicious biscuits for her family,<br />
and began to share her products with friends and<br />
neighbours. Demand quickly grew and in 1973 the<br />
decision was made to discontinue the farming side of<br />
the business and for Dorothy and her husband Phillip<br />
to convert the farm buildings for biscuit production.<br />
Production grew rapidly but great care has always<br />
been taken to ensure that the original family recipes<br />
which were handed down from previous generations<br />
were maintained. The factory grew over the decades<br />
but the same production methods and recipes are still<br />
used to this day. Fortnum & Mason has been working<br />
closely with Dorothy and Phillip for 34 years and now<br />
stock a wide range of luxury biscuits, developed with<br />
the buyer exclusively for Fortnum & Mason under our<br />
own label. All the exclusive recipes use the finest of<br />
ingredients such as butter, ground spices, heather honey,<br />
eggs and oatmeal with no artificial additives, flavourings<br />
or colourings.<br />
