Christmas wreaths by Tina & Willow
It’s a lovely time of year in Apley Farm Shop as each day, some new preparations are made towards Christmas time, helping to make it an extra special time of year for everyone.
Tina sent me this photo of these lovely wreaths she & Willow have spent hours making together, using Apley Estate foliage of course ! They’ll decorate the Winter Wonderland tent which will contain for Santa’s Grotto.
We have an exciting programme of cookery demonstrations during our Christmas Food Fair on Saturday 28 November, 10-4pm in addition to over 20 producers coming to offer customers free tasters of delicious festive food & drink. The very next day we’ll hold the Christmas Apley Craft Fair (on Sunday 29 November, 10-4pm) when over 20 Shropshire crafters will be offering a variety of local crafts including leather dog collars, jewellery, skincare, soaps, art, textiles, candles, with some demonstrating their craft techniques during the day.
Before then, next week, 23-30 Nov, it’s the Taste of Game week, so be sure to head straight for the butcher’s counter for some free tasters & free recipes ! Combine them with our Apley Walled Garden flower sprouts which is our vegetable of the month – they’re a cross between kale & sprouts.
Look out for our Christmas advert like this one in the Shropshire Magazine, as well as this small article about our fabulous Christmas hampers – talking of which, we’re just fulfilling a 70-hamper corporate order. .
