1st January 2009

Happy New Year to all our customers and readers.  Please note that I will not be attending the January Farm Shop date as experience has shown that most people don't want pies and cakes so soon after Christmas!  I will be back on the 6th and 7th February 2009.

I have decided not to reproduce the dates for the Farm Shop here, as they can be easily found on the Woodford Meats web-site (a link to which is given on the Farm Shop page).  This will hopefully minimise the danger of errors when I'm typing!

22nd November 2008

Although the Farm Shop is open every weekend in December, I will only be there on the following dates:

12th and 13th December    and     23rd and 24th December

The usual range of frozen pies will be available at all times. If you would like to order any items for Christmas, please contact me by telephone or email.  As a guide, the following list shows some of the festive items I can provide but please feel free to discuss with me any other foods you may desire!

My picture of the profiteroles on the homepage of this website keeps popping up on other websites and forums all over the world.  Try 'googling' "profiterloes" to see what I mean.  Shame we can't charge royalties, Mr W and his Box Brownie would be living the life of luxury (not quite!)

29th July 2008

Summer has arrived at last and peaches are plentiful in the shops so I couldn't resist making a pavlova.  

1st March 2008

Due to increased demand and the logistical difficulties in producing so many pies immediately prior to a farm shop, all my shortcrust pies are now supplied frozen.  Discussing this with my customers, the vast majority of people were freezing them at home anyway so it was felt that this would have little, or no, impact on our customers.  Please call me if you require fresh pies for delivery at times other than farm shop weekends.

Not quite sure where to put this but I just thought it was one of my better photographs! Couldn't really resist sharing it with you, taken as I was making a batch of brawn.  Should be making more soon !
