Newsletter 18th August 2022

Good afternoon,

Thank you for all the rain dancing, it’s definitely helped. We have enjoyed a good downpour over the last couple of days, which is injecting some life back into our land. Without wanting to sound ungrateful, we would ideally have more gentle and sustained rainfall so maybe you could try slowing down your choreography to see if it correlates. Thank you kindly.

This Saturday we are welcoming Sarah Langford & the 3Bros burger boys back to the yard. The boys are serving up their sensational Trenchmore wagyu burgers from 1-4pm, and Sarah will be talking with Andrew from 2-3pm.

There is no entry fee and you are welcome to join just for the chat or just for the food, but I expect the experience of eating a regenerative beef burger whilst listening to a Sunday Times best-selling author talk about regenerative farming with a farmer doing his best to improve his soils, to be a jolly good combination.

Plus, we’ve got a book & burger discount available for pre-orders.

The conversation will be in the Roundhouse, and there will be hay bales scattered around the yard to accommodate everyone, no matter the weather.

A note on deliveries

We currently don’t have the capacity to deliver our beef, lamb or eggs but really appreciate you coming to the yard to pick up your orders from the farm on Saturdays.

There is an option for this on our website at the check-out which doesn’t add a shipping cost to your bill, but please get in touch if it is not clear.

You don’t need to pre-order as we will always have things to pick up on Saturdays, but it might be a more limited menu.

We’ve been a little light on steaks recently, but do email if there’s any specific cut you’re missing and I’ll get my hands on it for you.

We do have two additional shipping options for Silly Moo Cider -

  1. Very local deliveries - £5

  2. Nationwide courier - £12
