Good afternoon,
What a day - in the last few hours we have had snow, hailstones, branch breaking gusts and now as I write, total calm with the occasional cloud against a bonny blue sky. March is going out with a bang.
And tomorrow is April, which means lambing at Nuthurst Farm is due to start any day. Rosie is planning to process some boxes for Easter so please get in touch if you’d like to order or for more info.
We are really looking forward to seeing so many of you in the yard on Saturday. The burgers are selling very quickly so we have pulled out the big guns and will also be joined by SoPi Pizza, making sure all appetites are met this week.
Combining our farm, our produce and the work of local and exceptional growers, chefs, brewers, musicians, blenders & distillers is making for a very exciting Saturday and we’re pleased that the response has been so enthusiastic. Please remember that we are a working farm with heavy machinery, open fire pits and cows with calves, and your children and dogs are your responsibility.
The farm tour is due to start at 2pm - please bring appropriate footwear for walking and sufficient layers for an afternoon outside in these temperamental climes. There will be lots of you on the tour and we hope you enjoy an amble up to see our cows in the fields.
The shop is open from 11am, with food and music from 1pm.
In the yard on Saturday…
We are delighted to have the 2021 Golden Fork Great Taste Award winner Slake Gin join us this weekend. Only one food or drink producer from each area of the UK is awarded this each year, which makes it a huge triumph. Tom will be sampling and selling his unique and tasty tipples on Saturday and we can’t wait to try his infamous Sussex Dry Gin.
Lilian's London is a floristry business run by Charlotte. She is committed to providing sustainable & ethical flowers and works with small scale flower farmers in and around London to provide flowers that are truly seasonal and utterly beautiful.
Charlotte says “We like to create wild, free and natural designs that bring the outdoors in. We embrace imperfections and create in a way that allows nature’s beauty to do all the talking.”
We are looking forward to seeing what April’s garden haul will be brought to the yard on Saturday.
If you have been to the farm over the past few years, chances are you have met Clare. Not only is she our favourite Trenchmore shop wing-woman, but she is also mother of chillies.
Clare’s Chillies was set up last year after cultivating a passion for growing, cooking with and eating different varieties of the hot and flavourful fruits over the past 30 years. She grows and processes everything at home (which is less than a stone’s throw from the farm) and will be sampling her spicy and delicious wares in the yard this Saturday.
MDTea was launched in Brighton by Helen in 2009 as an antidote to the bland blends and insipid infusions that were available on the market.
Helen now offers a range of 30 world class & award winning infusions and will be serving hot drinks to enjoy in the yard, and selling loose tea leaves to take home.
MDTea use only the best quality teas, blended with the best of botanicals sourced from across the globe to offer a truly sensational sip.
