A
very heartfelt welcome to Issue 17 of Kitchen. Every year we have a heated debate on “when is it too early to mention Christmas?”. For those in the love group it’s never too early, whilst those in the loathe group think 24th December will be just fine This year, news of supply chain strains and increasing costs across all industries have hit the press, and we all have to consider how this will impact our business and lives. Here at Harts, we have invested in staff and stock, to meet demand for customers as well as supporting our employees. We are proud to be a Real Living Wage Employer and consider them to be part of the family. As I write, our warehouse is full, with more stock arriving daily, and we work hard to ensure all manageable overheads are kept to a minimum and our prices remain as competitive as possible. There will still likely be una oidable shortages this season though. f possible, buying your gifts earlier is advised to avoid disappointment. To get you in the mood, turn to page 6 for festi e ideas, including the ever-popular Wrendale tree decorations. In Happening At Harts, on pages 12 and 1 , you will see that our Coffee oft is open and in full swing, with daily specials and delicious cakes (all made on site) served in a light and spacious environment. For me, the festive season is all about spending time with family squeezing as many people in as possible for lunch, even if this involves dragging the garden furniture inside so everyone has a seat. In our Main Event feature on page 14, we hope we have catered for everyone’s preference - from turkey to nut loaf and the trimmings. One of my favourite Boxing Day traditions is making turkey curry. If you like a bit of spice we have a hot feature from Dorset’s own curry queen, Sarah Choudhury on page 19. Coffee or tea ur feature on page co ers both, including the ura 10 which boasts the first fully automatic instant cold brew function on a beanto-cup coffee machine. All That litters on page 0, features e erything you need to transform your table into a winter wonderland, whilst our Kitchen Icon for this issue (page 33) is Nordic Ware - manufacturers of the showstopping Bundt tin, who celebrate their 75th anniversary this year. We have always been great supporters and proud stockists of many UKmade products. Our Best of British feature on page 45 champions bakeware from Baker & Salt, tableware from Denby and cookware from Samuel ro es. On page 48, we introduce an innovative range of cordless electrical products from Cuisinart. We have been equally impressed by the outstanding quality of Swiss-manufactured Kuhn Rikon cookware. See their versatile collections on page 58. osie ameson shares her recipes and tips on making pickles, tipples and peels on page 60. And finally, don t miss your chance to win a age Bambino on page 51. From everyone at Harts we wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Favourite way to keep warm in winter?
Favourite way to keep warm in winter?
Favourite way to keep warm in winter?
I have an unhealthy obsession with scarves, particularly tartan ones from Joules! Not to mention all the Christmas jumpers I’ve accumulated over the years.
Layers of jumpers, cardigans and sweatshirts. You can’t go wrong with a heated blanket and staying close to a radiator either!
Lighting the fire and wrapping up in pyjamas, slippers and a fluffy dressing gown - you simply can’t beat it!
Tea, coffee or neither?
Tea, coffee or neither?
Tea, coffee or neither?
I am a serious coffee junkie and will always find an excuse to go and get one.
Coffee - especially a caramel latte from Harts Coffee Loft. Yummy!
Both! I drink a lot of builder’s-strength tea daily, but occasionally treat myself to a specialty coffee. Hopes for 2022? To finally make it to Mexico for my long-awaited honeymoon which has been postponed twice.
Sarah Perrett - Customer Services Favourite way to keep warm in winter? Tucking into a hearty pasta dish near a roaring fire, glass of wine in hand! Tea, coffee or neither? Neither - I don’t really drink hot drinks unless I’m really cold, then I might have a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows as a special treat. Hopes for 2022? That all my loved ones have a happy and healthy year. A big family holiday somewhere hot and near the sea would be good too.

Hopes for 2022?
Hopes for 2022?
To keep working hard and putting in the effort towards achieving my goal of a dream home.
My husband and I are in the process of converting a van for camping and travelling in, so I’m looking forward to many trips away.
Michael Williams - Garden Department Manager Favourite way to keep warm in winter? Mulled wine or a roast dinner! Ideally beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings, not forgetting the gravy! Tea, coffee or neither? I much prefer tea, particularly Yorkshire Tea. Nice and strong with a dash of milk, not forgetting a custard cream or two. Hopes for 2022? Having recently moved house, we are planning our new garden which will include a water feature and decking area – perfect for family barbecues.
Hayley Miles - Sales Assistant Favourite way to keep warm in winter? Snuggling up on the sofa to watch a comedy or action film with a big bowl of sweet popcorn. Tea, coffee or neither? Black coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon for me. Hopes for 2022? Spending quality time with family and friends has never seemed more important. Even if it’s just a walk or coffee and cake with a friend, I’ll be making the most of every get-together!

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT For someone who admits to a fear of heights, Alan Cavendish, our Warehouse Manager, could have chosen a slightly more obvious option than jumping out of a plane when it came to fundraising. This was his third charity event, and his second supporting Forest Holme Hospice in Poole. In 2014 he shaved his head for Macmillan, raising more than £700. In 2017 he did his first fundraiser for Forest Holme, completing a wing walk and raising more than £1,200. This year he decided being strapped to a plane wasn’t adventurous enough, and instead completed a 13,500ft skydive with the Parachute Regiment at Netheravon, raising a whopping £1,300. After losing his brother, and then brother-in-law to cancer, Alan explained he felt the need to give back to the great charities that supported both men and their families through tough times. Forest Holme Hospice Charity supports the life-enhancing work of Forest Holme Hospice, part of University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust. Established in 1994, Friends of Forest Holme, as it was known then, was set up to fundraise for a specialist palliative care unit. Over the years, the charity has been committed to funding additional nursing staff for the inpatient ward, two counsellors to provide psychological support to patients and their families, a variety of complementary therapies, medical equipment and practical fixtures and fittings to make the hospice a more homely environment. 12

A TASTE OF SPRING When he’s not busy preparing meals and snacks for customers, Coffee oft anager, Ben o ham, enjoys cooking at home. Risotto is a particular favourite of his and here he shares his recipe for a simple but super-tasty version.
RISOTTO PRIMAVERA SERVES 4 200g broad beans (frozen) 2 spring onions 150g petit pois 250g asparagus bunch 1 garlic clove 3 banana shallots 90g butter 1.2L vegetable stock 1 tbsp olive oil 100ml white wine 100g pecorino/parmesan 50g crème fraiche
1 Thaw the broad beans and peel. Snap the woody bottom of the asparagus and slice in half lengthways. 2 Finely dice the shallots, garlic and spring onions. Fry in the oil and 50g of the butter for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the rice and stir for a few minutes until mixed and lightly toasted. Add the wine and stir until it has evaporated. 3 Make 1.2L of vegetable stock and gradually add 1 ladle at time to the rice until the liquid has been absorbed. Stir well after each addition.
TAKING CHARGE
Did you know we have an electric car-charging station located in our new car park? Perfect for charging your electric vehicle while you are browsing in the store or enjoying a bite to eat in the Coffee Loft. Free for the first hour.
This can take up to 20 minutes. 4 Steam the asparagus for 4 minutes. 5 After 15 minutes, add the petit pois and broad beans. Add seasoning to taste. The risotto should have a soft bite but not crunchy. Once all the stock has been used, stir in the grated pecorino or parmesan. 6 Add a spoonful of crème fraiche plus the remaining 40g of butter to make it extra creamy, before serving with the asparagus laid on top. Grate over extra parmesan if desired.
FEELING CHILLI
We were delighted to sponsor the Great Dorset Chilli Plant Competition, part of the Great Dorset Chilli Festival which this year relocated to a venue just down the road from us. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the festival is a great weekend for chilli enthusiasts, food lovers and families with stalls selling all things chilli, artisan food and local beers to slake the thirst! Our congratulations go to Karl Gibbons and his winning Scotch Bonnet Bonsai Chilli Plant.

THE MAIN EVENT
Whole Roasted Golden Turkey with Roasted Grapes, Shallots & Rosemary SERVES 8 5kg Golden Turkey with giblets Sea salt and black pepper 1 bay leaf 3 onions, peeled and quartered 2 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks 2 sprigs of rosemary 300ml water 3 tbsp of olive oil 3 tbsp of good quality balsamic vinegar 10 medium shallots, peeled 750g of red or black bunches of grapes, broken into small clusters on the vine 1 tbsp chopped rosemary leaves
1 Take the turkey out of the fridge a couple of hours before cooking and remove the giblets. If your turkey is trussed, it is best to remove the string before cooking. 2 Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4.
THE
3 Season the turkey with sea salt and black pepper, place some of the onion inside the cavity and put in a large roasting tin, breast side down, with the giblets, bay leaf, onions, carrots, rosemary sprigs and the water. Place in the preheated oven. 4 After an hour, turn the turkey over and roast until cooked. To check the turkey is cooked, use a meat thermometer. You are looking to achieve a temperature of about 68C before resting the bird, the juices should run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer. 5 Remove from the roasting tin and leave to one side to rest for at least half an hour before carving. Do not cover the bird. Strain the juices from the roasting tray through a sieve and leave in a separate pan ready to complete the Madeira gravy (see next recipe). 6 Using the same roasting tray, gently drizzle some olive oil on the shallots and roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Add the grapes and season well with sea salt and the chopped rosemary, drizzle with more oil and balsamic vinegar if needed. 7 Serve the shallots and grapes around the turkey on a large wooden board or plate.
Rich Madeira Turkey Gravy Turkey roasting and giblet juices Vegetable stock 150ml Madeira 3 tbsp plain flour Sea salt and black pepper 2 tsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp Marmite A knob of butter
1 Strain the roasting and giblet juices from the roasting tray into a measuring jug and skim off most of the fat, make the roasting juice up with vegetable stock to 1L of liquid. 2 Deglaze the roasting tray with the Madeira and strain into a saucepan with the turkey and vegetable juices. 3 Mix the flour to a paste with a little cold water and balsamic vinegar and whisk into the mixture in the saucepan. Season with a little salt and pepper. 4 Bring to the boil, whisking all the time, and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. 5 Whisk in the Marmite and a knob of butter. Check the seasoning and if the gravy is too thick, add a little more vegetable stock and serve immediately.

CELEBRITY CHEF Q. How do you get the balance right between business and parenting? It’s sometimes very challenging but I include my children in everything I do. My eldest is 19, while my youngest is 9, and I have a 17 and an 11-year-old in between. Over the past few years, they have been my biggest fans and supporters. As a parent, single mum and business owner, they are my priority, but my work eeps us a oat so bein or anised structured and focused is essential when it comes to balance. Q. How important do you think it is to get children involved in cooking? I think it is one of the most important life skills and isn’t covered enough in schools. Over the past few years, I have worked with thousands of Bournemouth University students, teaching them about sustainability, cooking and budgeting around food. I’m currently working on workshop ideas for younger children. Q. What do you see as your most essential piece of equipment in the kitchen? I have a very old-fashioned stone pestle and mortar and something that looks like a glossy stone paving slab which was used by my grandmother to grind garlic, ginger, chillies, fresh herbs etc into a paste. I still use the pestle and mortar and there’s nothing like it. My grandmother is from Guyana in South America and she was an absolutely fantastic cook. She had 8 children and her life was all about cooking for her family, that’s where my mum learnt so much and passed it down to me! Q. What do you consider your biggest work-related achievement? Presenting BBC’s Inside Out about women in the Indian food trade. I was head hunted by a director for the BBC and I loved every minute filmin it. he pro ramme was screened in and went on to make it to BBC World News. It was translated into different lan ua es and also shown in India. Q. And your personal one? My personal achievement is managing being a mum while running my home. I’m grateful for everything I have in my life especially my parents and brothers who are unconditionally loving and extremely supportive. I’ve recently met the love of my life and am a true believer that life works in mysterious ways. Sometimes when you think everything is falling apart, it might just be making way for better things. Q. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I’m 44 now and by then I’d like to be living near a lake, river or the sea, with my own boat and my soulmate! A beautiful kitchen and garden for entertaining all my friends and family is essential and by then I think I’ll be a grandparent too. I’ll keep this article to re ect bac on and ma e sure I m on trac 20

T
apping into their Scandinavian roots, a Minnesota couple spotted a golden business opportunity in the aftermath of WWII. Dave Dalquist, a SwedishAmerican and his wife Dotty, a Danish-American, were convinced there was a strong market amid the sizeable Scandinavian population in the American Midwest. After being reunited when Dave returned from military service, and with $500 to their name, they moved quickly to launch a kitchenware company and in 1946, Nordic Ware was born. The couple bought a small aluminium firm and began manufacturing traditional cookware products, such as rosette iron (a pastry mould), krumkake iron (a wafer cookie press), platte panne and ebelskiver pan (both pancake pans).
Among Nordic Ware’s extensive range is one particularly famous piece… the Bundt® pan. In 1950, Dave Dalquist was tasked with recreating something from the old country - a heavy iron cake mould known as a bund. He replicated the mould in cast aluminium and trademarked the name Bundt®. Despite a modest launch at the time, sales of the Bundt® took off from 1966 when a woman from Texas won second place in a national baking contest for a cake made using the Dalquist-designed pan. Now the Bundt® can be found in more than 75 million households around the world and from producing a handful of specialty Scandinavian cookware products, the company has grown to become an international success, However, Nordic Ware has retained much of its original identity. Although bakeware, cookware and grilling accessories are distributed globally, most products are still made in Minneapolis, and the company remains family-owned and operated today,

Neapolitan Marble Bundt® Cake To celebrate their 75th anniversary and new Braided Bundt® design, Nordic Ware partnered with baker, author and TV personality, Edd Kimber who created this striking recipe specifically for the Braided Pan. SERVES 15 FOR THE BASE BATTER 340g unsalted butter, room temperature 450g caster sugar 6 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract FOR THE CHOCOLATE BATTER 85g plain flour 50g cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder Half tsp fine sea salt 40ml sour cream FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY BATTER 250g plain flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp fine sea salt 80ml sour cream 75g white chocolate, finely chopped
as you go, or use piping bags for the neatest finish. Whichever you choose, add the batter in slowly, little by little, gradually increasing the height.
3 tbsp freeze dried raspberry powder A little red gel food colouring FOR THE VANILLA GLAZE 150g icing sugar 2 tbsp milk 1 tsp vanilla bean paste Small pinch of salt
1 Prepare your Bundt® pan by brushing with softened butter and dusting with a thin layer of flour. 2 Place the white chocolate into a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until fully melted. Remove from the heat and set aside whilst you prepare the cake. 3 Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl and using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for about 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. 4 Add in the eggs one at a time, beating until fully combined. Mix in the vanilla. 5 Scrape a third of the batter into a
38
separate bowl. To this third, add the ingredients for the chocolate batter, mixing until a smooth cake batter is formed. Into the remaining mixture, add everything for the white chocolate and raspberry batters, except the melted chocolate, raspberry powder and food colouring, mixing to form a smooth cake batter. 6 Take this batter and divide again into 2 equal portions. To 1, mix through the melted chocolate and to the other, mix in the raspberry powder and a little food colouring to make a vibrant pink. 7 To portion the batter into the tin, you can either spoon the batters in, trying to keep each batter neatly inside each section of the tin, alternating the colours
8 Give the pan a couple of sharp taps on the worksurface so that the batter fills every nook and cranny of the pan. Pop the cake into the oven for about 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and set onto a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before inverting the cake and allowing it to cool fully. If you are opting to make the vanilla glaze, do this before turning the cake out and use as soon as it has been removed from the pan. 9 To make the glaze, add everything to a bowl and mix to make a smooth glaze. The finished texture wants to be on the thin side – you may need to add another half tbsp of milk. 10 Whilst the cake is still hot, use a pastry brush to coat it in the glaze which will turn slightly translucent. The finished cake will keep for 2-3 days if well covered.

Le Creuset Signature Cerise Cast Iron 20cm Round Casserole Highly resistant to wear and tear, these beautiful casserole pots are versatile enough to be used for baking bread and cakes. Harts Price: £200.00
CAST IRON
Cast iron is a popular choice because of its versatility and durability. Although deemed difficult to maintain, if you season your cookware correctly before first use and clean with care, this type of cookware is great for long-lasting heat distribution and can be used on a variety of cooking sources. It is especially good for recipes that need to move from the hob to the oven, and ideal for induction hob use. ENAMEL CAST IRON
Enamel cast iron has all the benefits of cast iron but with the durability of an enamel coating which handily eliminates the need to season the cookware. As well as the additional benefits of the coating, the enamel makes the cookware more appealing and can be bought in a range of colours. 42

COOKWARE
GLASS
Glass conducts heat very well so is ideal for roasting and browning. It is also very hardy when it comes to cleaning as it can be soaked for hours without damaging the surface. CERAMIC
Like enamel cookware, ceramic cookware items can be purchased by colour and can double up as serving dishes at the table. It generates heat slower than other bakeware so is ideal for recipes that need longer cooking times.
RAVE REVIEWS Very pleased with this purchase - outstanding quality, as with all my GreenPan products. The price at Harts of Stur was the cheapest of all sellers at nearly £10 less. Hazel K To see more of what our customers say about us, visit www. hartsofstur.com/reviews

HARD ANODISED
GreenPan Cambridge Ceramic Non-Stick 5 Piece Cookware Set Constructed from all natural materials, this durable set consists of 16cm, 18cm and 20cm saucepans with 20cm and 24cm frying pans. Featuring Bakelite handles that stay cool during cooking, the pans come with a GreenPan lifetime guarantee. RRP: £164.99 Harts Price: £123.74
Hard-anodised pans are aluminium pans which, during manufacturing, undergo a process that changes the natural surface into hard anodised. This creates a very durable surface which is resistant to abrasive cleaning utensils. Although heavier than other materials, hardanodised cookware is great for even heat distribution and therefore cooks food uniformly. This type of cookware will last for a long time and is not easily damaged. COPPER

Copper is a fantastic conductor of heat and allows cookware to heat evenly, thus avoiding hot spots on pots and pans. The metal changes temperature quickly, giving chefs greater control over the cooking process. Another benefit is that copper pots are generally heavy and sit securely on the stove. They also look fabulous.

1 Make sure that you have enough bottles and lids for the recipe - they can be washed and heated once the sauce is cooking. 2 Prep all the ingredients by peeling where necessary, then chopping roughly into medium-sized pieces - the sauce will be processed once cooked.

osie Jameson is the founder of the Guild of Jam and Preserve akers and behind the s first online cookery school dedicated to preserving – Rosie’s Preserving School (www.rosiemakesjam.com). According to Rosie, there’s nothing complicated about preserving once you know the basics, as she explains. “All the spoilers of food – yeasts, moulds and bacteria - need moisture to thri e. f the moisture isn t there then they can t grow. Eating a diet made up of dried goods isn’t very convenient or interesting however, so we prolong the life of a variety of ingredients by adding a combination of nature’s preservatives – sugar, salt and vinegar. Think jams, jellies, cordials, pickles, chutneys, sauces, mustards. There’s a method of preserving for everything.” 60

3 Place all the ingredients, except the sugar, into a large pan and put over a medium heat. Cook together, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and fruits are softened, then add the sugar, stirring well to dissolve. 4 Cook on until the ingredients have thickened a little - around 1hour total cooking time. Allow to cool a little and then pass through a food processor in small batches to produce a smooth sauce. 5 As each batch is completed, pour into a clean pan until all of the contents are smooth. Reheat gently for about 15 minutes and then pour into the heated, dry bottles.

2 Place all the other ingredients into a large pan, and add the spice bag, then bring to the boil, before turning down and simmering until the chutney is soft and thick. Stir occasionally to make sure the chutney doesn’t stick to the pan. This will take around 60-90 minutes.

3 In the meantime, wash your jars in hot soapy water, rinse and place upside down in a warm oven, around 50-100C to dry and sterilise. 4 When you are ready to jar up, take the pan from the heat, and put onto a heat-proof surface. Place your jars beside the pan and carefully ladle your chutney into the jars, right up to the top. Use a jam funnel if you have one. Check for any air pockets that may be visible and prod with a dinner knife to disperse them. Put the lid on immediately. 5 Your chutney will shrink as it cools, forming a vacuum pocket at the top of the jar which will keep the contents safe for many years. Leave your chutney to mature for 4-6 weeks before enjoying with cheese or cold meats.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING JAM • Use very fresh fruit. Over-ripe fruit is not suitable for jam making. Pectin is a natural plant thickener, essential to achieve a good set and is at its highest level in fruit just before it is ready to be picked so also include a few under-ripe fruits if possible. • You will need acid as this helps to extract the pectin from the fruit whilst cooking. Add the juice of 1 lemon per kilo of fruit during the cooking process. • To test if your jam is ready after cooking, test a blob on a saucer by pushing it with the side of your finger. If you see a ‘crinkle’ your jam will set in the jar. • Fill your jars right to the top leaving no gap. Apply the lid immediately and as the jam cools, it will shrink, creating a vacuum space to keep the contents safe for many years. You do not need to keep jam in the fridge even after opening. • There is no wrong jam except burnt jam. Everything else can be used and do remember, homemade jam will never look or taste like mass-produced jam and that is a very good thing!
TOP TIPS FOR CHUTNEY • Chutney is simple to make mainly because you are not trying to achieve a set. It can be made from virtually any combination of fruits and vegetables and most require all 3 preservatives – vinegar, salt and sugar. • The consistency is controlled by the length of time the ingredients are cooked for. Long and slow is the best way. • Make sure that the vinegar you buy has a minimal acetic acid content of 5% or higher and has the word ‘vinegar’ written on the label. Some shops sell Nonbrewed Condiment which tastes fine on chips but will not preserve food.
Candied Peel This may appear fiddly but is easier than it appears. Candied peel can be chopped and sprinkled over ice cream, added to batters for muffins, breads and cakes and used to garnish citrusbased cocktails. MAKES APPROX 350-400G 350g orange peel (approximately 4 large oranges) 350g white granulated sugar 28g caster sugar
1 Start by taking the peel from the oranges in quarters – cut right round the orange from stalk to stalk, then again at right angles to the first cut. 2 Take off the peel, then weigh the total amount together – it should be around 350g. The amount of granulated sugar you use should
THE
• It is good to match your vinegars to your ingredients so red wine vinegar with plums, beetroot, red cabbage, cider vinegar with apples and pears and so on. • Sea salt is a good choice for chutneys and when it comes to sugar, opt for one of the flavoursome brown sugars, muscovado, demerara, or a soft light brown. Spices can be swapped in and out – they are there for flavour not preservation.

be exactly the same. 3 Put peel in a saucepan, cover with water and cook gently for 45 mins - 1 hour until tender but still firm, changing the water twice during the cooking time. 4 Drain and put back into the pan with the sugar, cover with water. Place over a low heat and stir to dissolve sugar. 5 Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for around 40-45 mins until the syrup is almost used up and the peel is translucent. Lift the peel out of the pan and spread onto silicone paper set on wire trays. 6 Leave to dry for 24 hours at room temperature. 7 Place the caster sugar into a small bowl and dip each piece of peel to coat. Candied peel can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 6 months.

THE HISTORY OF HARTS
THE
HISTORY OF HARTS
A
Our family business for more than 100 years
t the age of 17 alter art, an apprentice blacksmith, joined the Royal Field Artillery as a farrier. n 1919 he was demobilised from the army and established his own blacksmith business in Sturminster Newton, just a brief canter away from where we are today.
BELOW: An early picture of Walter Hart, the founder of Harts of Stur. The original anvil and shoeing tools are on display in-store.
As Walter’s reputation and the business grew, one of his sons, Bill, joined the family business in 19 1 and helped his father shoe horses, mend cart wheels and carry out other general repair work. n 19 5 alter s second son, Eddie, finished his National Service in the RAF and joined the burgeoning family firm. n 19 9 the business outgrew the small workshop, and new premises were constructed on the fringes of a marshy area of town called Butts Pond. We still call this home to this day. Two wonderful blacksmith shops and forges, costing the princely sum of £800, were erected. Sadly, neither are still standing, but you can still see on display, in our store, one of the original anvils and shoeing tools used by Walter all those years ago. Around the time of the new forges, a decision was made to branch out. As Eddie was never that fond of horses, he started retailing agricultural ironmongery, and manufacturing basic farm implements. By 197 , with farrier work in decline, the manufacturing side of the business had taken off and a brand new factory was built to support this success. arts was well regarded through the farming community, most famous perhaps for its yard scrapers and feed trailers, and exhibited at all the major county shows. Eddie had created a major manufacturing business, and chose to refuse offers from leading national companies to buy him out. He saw the greater value, like today’s generation, in seeing the family business continue. Eddie s son hilip joined the business in 1979 and set about transforming the retail shop from an agricultural supplier into a modern, country department store. The local hardware shop had burnt down and closed, and this was the launch pad for the retail arm of the business. The old forge buildings were demolished, and a purpose-built shop and offices were erected. ith the business growing, the store was e tended in 198 and again in 1991. Philip always had his eye on the next big thing and, with that in mind, arts took its first tentati e steps into mail order in the early nineties. Some early success gave us the encouragement we needed, and our first trading website was launched in 1995 - one of the first operational and trading sites anywhere in the country (we had a feature written about us in the Daily Telegraph at the time). 64

THE HISTORY OF HARTS
BELOW: Harts exhibited at all the major country and agricultural shows in the UK. This shows their stand at the Royal Bath and West Show sometime during the 1970s.
Continued growth saw yet another expansion of the retail premises in Sturminster Newton in 2003. The online side of the business had proved successful but was being driven forward without a proper direction for a while until Philip’s two sons left university, and joined the family firm in 006. ohnathan and raham were able to bring a much greater understanding of the modern, technological world and provided the next generational drive to push forward rapidly with our online presence. The right staff and ingredients were in place, and with hard work and perse erance, as well as uick lessons learned, the internet business has grown very rapidly, becoming a well-respected, national award-winning enterprise. ur 60,000 s uare foot despatch centre was completed in 010 and a new suite of sales offices shortly after in 01 , both purpose-built to gi e our mail order customers the same le el of ser ice and efficiency that our store customers have enjoyed for so many years.
BELOW: Slightly closer to home, this picture was taken at the Shaftesbury and Gillingham Show, again, sometime in the 1970s.
LEFT: Kitchen magazine is not Harts first foray into publishing. This 1992 brochure advertised the range of farm equipment they manufactured. ABOVE: A screenshot of our first website in 1995.
Since then we have continued to grow as a business to become a leading independent retailer, recognised with a number of local and national awards. The store now encompasses many more departments, including Garden, Tools, Electrics, Camping, , iftwares, ousewares, torage, Clothing, Bathroom and of course itchen, and is a wonderfully relaxing environment to shop and work in. ur online presence has increased significantly too and a new, inno ati e and modern website was launched in 018. n 019 we celebrated our 100th anni ersary with a series of in-store events and promotions themed around family and food. After 40 years in the business, Philip decided it was also a fitting time to relin uish his custodianship of the business. Philip’s son, Graham, has taken on the role of MD with his other son, Johnathan, becoming finance director. n 0 1, work completed on an ambitious redevelopment of our store and garden department, with the addition of a coffee shop.
