Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is an international charity working to save species from extinction. Headquartered at Jersey Zoo, Durrell focuses on the most threatened species in the most threatened places. Established by author and conservationist, Gerald Durrell, in 1959, Durrell’s overall aim is for more diverse, beautiful and resilient natural landscapes in which species can thrive and people can enjoy a deeper connection with nature. Its approach concentrates on the rewilding of animals, the rewilding of ecosystems and the rewilding of people.

 

Ahead of Eat Jersey 2019, The Atlantic’s Executive Chef Will Holland and cocktail mixologist Roslyn Humphreys will go behind the scenes at Jersey Zoo on 12th March 2019. They will visit the zoo’s organic farm where much of the animals’ food is grown, from leafy greens to goji berries, to take inspiration for the festival dishes. A special Eat Jersey cocktail will also be created to enjoy throughout the festival featuring handpicked ingredients from Jersey Zoo’s farm.

 

In addition to Durrell, Eat Jersey 2019 is delighted to welcome Visit Jersey as its partner together with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Luxury Jersey Hotels and official media partner the Jersey Evening Post

 

Eat Jersey 2019 is also pleased to announce the following sponsors for this year’s event:

 

Easenmyne

 

As one of Jersey’s most long-standing, family-run businesses, Easenmyne has built an unwavering trust with every single one of their clients. Starting out in Jersey in 1945 at the end of the Second World War, from humble beginnings selling fresh eggs and poultry, Easenmyne Foodservice is now one of the biggest suppliers of quality food, selling the finest welfare meats sourced from field to fork.

Jersey Dairy

 

Jersey Dairy is a farmer-owned co-operative responsible for providing Jersey with fresh milk and dairy products. All products are made from milk produced exclusively by the finest pure-breed Jersey cows, which can trace the purity of lineage back to 1763. The milk has up to 20% more protein and calcium, 25% more butterfat and a higher concentration of minerals and vitamins than that from other breeds, creating a naturally improved texture and taste.

 

Taittinger

 

Taittinger is one of the last great independent Champagne houses owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. In 1932 the founder, Pierre Taittinger, bought the Forest and Fourneaux house which was created in 1734. The hallmark of the fine Champagne is the highest proportion of Chardonnay used in the winemaking to produce elegant and delicate Champagne. The Friday and Saturday events of Eat Jersey will see House of Taittinger Champagne being served to diners.

Durrell is a charity based in Jersey with conservation projects making a significant impact across the globe.

We look forward to creating another successful Eat Jersey event together.”
