Good morning,
Saturday was wonderful. We had 700 visitors to our food & drink market and the rain held off until ten minutes before the end. And then didn’t stop all night, but I am really not complaining.
The cattle out in the fields, which is about half of them now, have made a bit of a mess on the new herbal leys after we had 1.5 inches on Saturday night, but we’ve moved them into another paddock and expect the leys to recover just fine once it dries up a little.
We’re hoping it will dry up soon so we can get our spring barley in before it is too late to sow.
We’re waiting for our final calf of the season to be born, and vaccinated all 160 cows and 65 calves for blackleg this week. I caught this lovely thing enjoying a sunny snooze on the hay heap on Tuesday.
We still have a couple of seats left at the Trenchmore Table on Friday, and I’m going to entice you with the Sussex Wagyu centric & delicious sounding menu…
snacks: marmite & honey butter brioche
starter: beef cake, carrot puree & a smoked leek emulsion
main: wagyu rib eye, kohlrabi three ways served w/ potato dauphinoise
finish: chocolate mousse
We can make this gluten free or veggie if you let us know when you book.
