With the Open Day at Luddesdown now over for this year, the combining of the crops has begun in earnest. The numbers at this year’s event were down on last year but we still took out 6 trailer loads of visitors around the compost site and out into the field where the whole herd of cows and calves were grazing. This is the main highlight of the afternoon for children to be able to get close to the animals.
The latest batch of piglets has just been weaned and Honey is due to farrow any day now. So if you want to see some little piglets they will probably be out and about in a couple of week’s time. They will be up the steps by the post box and up past the polytunnels in the field.
As ever we are holding our annual BBQ to which all our customers are invited. This event takes place in the farmyard, on Thursday 9th September this year. The evening starts at 6.15pm when we walk from the farmyard out into the vegetable field and then back to the farmyard for a BBQ with our own burgers and sausages, plus vegetarian kebabs. The walk is free but there will be a charge of £6.00 for adults and £3.00 for children to cover the cost of the BBQ and drink. This is a ticket only event, so please be sure to let us know you are coming and if you want the vegetarian option. We look forward to seeing you there.
Talking of BBQ’s we now have BBQ packs made up, consisting of burgers, sausages, belly slices, racks of pork, chicken drumsticks and rump steak. They are around £25/£26 each. We are also offering 4 packs of mince for £10.00 during the rest of August, so just let us know if you need any additional produce to be delivered with your boxes.
Happy holidays to you all from everyone here at the farm.
