The Garbutts

Lucy Garbutt works in marketing and PR for a luxury tour operator, and her husband Alasdair is a solicitor. They are passionate about feeding their three children a healthy, organic diet and as much as possible they like to live off the land. They grow vegetables on their allotment, catch their own fish, hunt for pheasant and often get fresh cuts of meat from Lucy’s father’s ‘hobby farm’.

Theirs is a very lively kitchen and children Archie, 12, Harry, 9, and Daphne, 7, are encouraged to get involved with the cooking. There’s always some activity going on at the kitchen table – whether it’s Lucy hosting the local book club, or the children working on an art project. They recently bought two ferrets and are also looking after two puppies for friends.
