Unfortunately, it has come to a point now that we can no longer continue absorbing the extra costs of producing and delivering our organic boxes. We had hoped that we could trade for a little while without any price hike and things would ‘settle down’ and get back to normal. However, normal now looks like […]

Welcoming lots of visitors
It’s been a mixed week of weather and jobs. We’re working towards up coming events. It will be lovely to welcome the U3A here again after their visit many years ago, I wonder if they will see all the changes we have made, and next weeks flowers from the garden workshop to organise too. Not […]
I’m eating outside, what are you doing?
At last the weather feels like it might be picking up. Today the cold wind has abated and the sun is shining….. Our fingers are crossed for grass growth racing ahead for the cows and sheep and heat in the ground for the veggies. This sunshine should ripen the soft fruit too. So we’re all […]
Beth’s Blog – Lamb at last….
It’s June and the weather is against us. We really haven’t had any consistent warm weather. We’ve had rain, hail, wind and cold. Everything, including all of the team here, is desperate for the weather to improve. When you work outside you really notice the weather and this has been the worst spring we have […]
Beth’s Blog – get ready for Pizza at our Open Day…..
This week already seems crazy busy. I don’t understand how this happens at this time of year because with the extra day light I should have plenty of time to get all my jobs done. I’m trying to squeeze garden weeding, which isn’t technically work, in with veg weeding, harvesting, planting and potting on, turning […]
It’s National BBQ week next week….. we just need the sunshine !!
Hello everyone, I’ve had such a yearning for a big cooked breakfast this last couple of weeks. Well now it’s time to scratch that itch. I’m making a big loaf of fluffy white bread and with that I’m going to make a mountain of, crispy on the outside, eggy bread. Fried in pork fat and […]
For the love of Veg and are you doing the “No Mow May” challenge?
Hello everyone, you will possibly know how much I enjoy cutting my lawns, sad I know but I find it so therapeutic to cut the grass, trim the edges and make the gardens look tidy. This year I have left the orchard and I have found it very difficult to just leave the grass to […]
Full steam ahead….and what do you think to a Customer Open Day?
The weather has turned and we have blue skies and warmer temperatures and it’s full steam ahead. We’ve started on the concrete for the new road so the first section is complete and only 3 more sections to go to get us out to our new road end. Everyone is very excited because it’s finally […]
Beth’s Blog – for the love of great quality organic produce….
Hello everyone, I’m writing this looking out of the window to dark grey skies. The weather is cold and wet. So instead of thinking of salads and eating outside watching the sun go down at the end of the day, I’m thinking of comfort food, warm and satisfying. So rhubarb crumble instead of fool and […]
Lee’s Blog – an update on Milk & Cream deliveries
Cost pressures are causing headaches for us all! I’m sure you don’t need me telling you that costs are currently spiraling out of control. We’re all facing huge rises in vehicle fuel and home energy costs at the minute and things don’t look like they will be changing anytime soon. It may seem a bit […]
