Happy New Year to all our customers new and old, friends and
neighbours.
My first market at Twickenham was wonderful! Greeted by praise
and thanks for all our Xmas meat and at least three new customers
remarked on our sausages being THE best they had EVER tasted !
It is brilliant to get such positive feedback and makes the
job EVEN more enjoyable, so thanks to all.
2007 was a year I will never forget .We had a complete change
of staff, culminating in us being so understaffed at Xmas that
there was only Sue and me left standing.
But we did it!!
Foot and Mouth, Blue tongue, floods in August, theft of our new
farm vehicles, theft of our egg 'honesty' box at the farm gate!!
Bless them all I say!
Oh yes, you can now buy eggs from Rosemary lane Alfold and see
the chickens 'wot' laid them!
Let us hope that 2008 brings better .
A very wet, muddy and dark start to 2008 so far. Cycling down
to our chickens in the pitch black this morning with only a miners'
light to see by!
Spooking the Tawny owls who still consider it to be their time
and me trying desperately not to cycle into one of our very full
overflowing ditches! That really would make my day!
New years eve was spent constructing a new electric fence pen
for some of our pigs and having an impromptu ride on the backs
of some others who decided to run through me to get to their food
and carried me along as if I was surfing!
No bones broken and my pride almost intact.
We look forward to a new member of staff coming on board in February.
We are offering a local delivery service now, which is being
very warmly received so do let us know if you need a few sausages
or a dozen eggs and we will see what we can do?
We have started supplying our local B&B in Plaistow with a weekly
breakfast order so they can all eat the local scenery. We wish
them every success and love the fact that they have chosen our
produce. Enough of this, time to go and cut some pigs up and start
making our wonderful sausages.
