the original meeting was to discuss ideas and concepts, today they have formed a solid partnership of aligned ideals and goals. They both could be described as culinary luddites, cooking naturally, using local ingredients, supporting local farmers and growers. "culinary luddism” for people who are part of the trend to eat naturally, rather then industrialized and modified foods, Ramon & Damien are Food activists who deeply oppose the corporations behind processed food
The Luddites were 19th-century English textile artisans who protested against newly developed labor-saving machinery from 1811 to 1817. The stocking frames, spinning frames and power looms introduced during the Industrial Revolution threatened to replace the artisans with less-skilled, low-wage laborer's, leaving them without work. Our team consists of highly skilled and experienced professionals. And every employee is, undoubtedly, a remarkable one. Damien Taylor
