Farm Update

The butchery has had a little change around inside with the introduction of a new display counter.  The new layout seems to be working well so far and allows our customers to see a sample of what is on offer.

With such a warm summer so far, everything on the farm seems to be happening early.  The main strawberry crop has finished which has meant we can no longer offer ‘pick your own’ this year.  Many apologies to those of you who have turned up and had to leave disappointed. However, we do still have fresh strawberries available to buy from our shop.

The plums are ripening very fast too. Please do keep an eye in the shop for these in the next couple of weeks.

The warm but wet weather has provided a plentiful supply of fresh pasture for the animals.  The best possible food they could want.

Our latest piglets were born this week and look a very pretty sight.  They come from our newest boar who has hampshire genes which is where they get their beautiful colourings from.

We are aware that there is a growing demand in the village for fresh, local, free range eggs and are in the process of setting up our own supply.  We will keep you informed as and when we hope to have our own eggs available.
