Edible Flowers in Devon

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

Edible flowers are an increasingly common sight on up-market restaurant plates. One grower, Jan Billington set up Maddocks Organic Farm in Devon with a mission, to provide British organic edible flowers to both the public and commercial clients. She wants to turn edible flowers from an afterthought on a salad garnish to a vital ingredient that's attractive to chefs, cake makers and even drinks producers. Sarah Swadling travels to meet Jan in Devon and find out for herself why celebrities and the public alike now make a bee-line to this remote five acre wildflower wonderland. Producer: Andrew Dawes.
