Start Creative

Start Creative Start Creative is a social enterprise based in Salford that specialises in the creative arts. Any profit we make is reinvested in our facilities and projects.

Our inspirational range of products 'hand crafted in Salford' are for sale, made to order or for hire. Start Creative has developed in response to the aspirations of our Start in Salford members and improving the wellbeing of our community is at the very heart of what we do. We provide a vibrant, supportive and professional working environment with opportunities for people to showcase their creative talents and high quality artworks. Our range of services support local people and local businesses, contributing to a more prosperous local economy. We use ethically sourced materials and low carbon impact materials and processes wherever possible. For example, much of the wood we use comes form woodlands in and around Salford and is coppiced by us, a process that improves the health of woodlands.

Anyone who has met Start Creative's Director Ben will know he can talk at length on almost any subject, however at this time of year his favourite thing to talk about is apple season.

Since the end of September we have been receiving regular updates on which apples are at their very best.

You've already missed last weeks tip, "8th day's, nutty and crisp Egramont Russets" and the "tart and crunchy" early Windsors we enjoyed in October. So this week we've decided to share the results of Ben's extensive apple tasting.

Prize eater this week, the Blenheim Orange (currently available at Eighth Day Vegetarian Cafe and Shop)

Apparently you can eat English apples right through until March, so no doubt we'll be hearing more from Ben about his favourite snack.
