Why do we do this?

Soil is the basis of life



Everything we eat comes from the soil. We want to celebrate this connection by bringing the two things together in a sensory experience. Our experiences help diners to find a new appreciation for the beauty of this relationship.

Good soil creates good food to nourish and delight us, our experiences honours this! Soil is being degraded but we create hopeful, fun experiences that show how we can change this. We are a message of hope in a time when environmental issues can seem overwhelming. 


Everything starts with the soil 



We work with farmers in the UK including The Free Company and Locavore, along with researching soils to bring unique knowledge and a fun experience that starts with the soil. 

Dish the Dirt started as a project at the Glasgow School of Art, which included 12-weeks of research and design engaging with soils, communities, organisations and farmers to bring something completely new and innovative to the dining table.
