Annika, from Germany, left this morning for her next farm after wwoofing with us 2 weeks, and left us this lovely letter with drawings which we'd like to share with you - many thanks Annika for you help!

We are one of many stalls at these markets, with other stalls selling bread, raw chocolate, cheese, meat, curry sauces, crafts, jewellery, books, pies, cakes, quiches, jams, chutneys, soaps, chilli sauces, smoked fish, upcycled furniture etc.... Please come along and support your local producers and artisans, and support your communities and the local economy.

Each market also has a seated cafe, with cakes and tea and coffee.

Farm open day Sunday 1st October midday till 4pm

On Sunday 1st October, in association with CSA Network UK, we will be having an open day from 12 till 4pm, which is a free event to which everyone is invited. There will be a tour of the farm, a visit to the bee education shed with its demonstration hives, Rosie's food van, stalls from various conservation organisations, face painting, vegetable monster making, our farm shop, plus whatever else we can think of over the next week and on the day! Please come along to eat cake, learn about the farm, have fun, meet people, eat more cake, and maybe lend a hand - see you there...
