Welcome to Bob the butcher, Bob Wassell

Welcome very warmly to our new butcher at Apley Farm Shop, Bob Wassell, who’s just created Sausage of the Week – Wild mushroom. Half term starts tomorrow, so I can’t wait to get home & try them. I also adore wild garlic, so will try this yarg too. Enjoy these in the Creamery Cafe or pick up in the farm shop.

Apley cheese – now holder of a bronze award – in Mr Moyden’s presses

Mr Moyden won a bronze for his Apley cheese at the Artisan Cheese Awards in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire recently. I just spoke to the organiser who told me they’d had 338 entries from 86 artisan cheese makers. The awards recognise the skills of small cheesemakers who make under 250 tonnes of cheese per year.

Lauren’s busy getting ready for Open Farm Sunday, now just 9 days away on Sunday 5 June, 10-4pm. It’s a big day for our farm manager Adrian Joynt, who organises farm machinery displays & is on hand all day to chat about modern day farming.
