Janty Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Is anybody visiting farms on Sunday 1st June as part of the farm Sunday initiative? See www.farmsunday.org for your nearest farm. We are thinking of visiting Shotford Hall Farm in Harleston, Norfolk. They have sheep, cow and calves and of course CHICKENS. They also have the irresistable hog roast. Pity I didn't hear about it sooner. Wecould have arranged a few Omlet meets around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yes, I saw your post last night whilst I was at work (not allowed to reply from there ) there's not many farms near us really but I might try to make it to one of the ones in Godalming with the children tomorrow. It wasn't very well advertised - this is the first I've heard of it. Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 if you're going to 'cheshire farms ice cream farm' bear this in mind....despite mailing them in Feb, I still haven't had a reply, apart from their first mail. Just so you know when you choose your flavour of ice cream! You're safe with the tea rooms though ________________________________________ From: justine t[mailto:justine.t] Sent: 31 May 2008 13:40 To: 'justine t'; 'Cheshire Farm Ice Cream' Subject: eggs Dear Sally A response would be appreciated. ________________________________________ From: justine t [mailto:justine.t] Sent: 11 March 2008 17:46 To: 'Cheshire Farm Ice Cream' Subject: RE: eggs Dear Sally Is there any news on this please? ________________________________________ From: justine [mailto:justine.t] Sent: 05 February 2008 14:57 To: 'Cheshire Farm Ice Cream' Subject: battery eggs Dear Sally Thank you very much indeed. I am very happy to hear that the tea room uses free range eggs. May I suggest that your web site has this information? Not only is it helpful to people like us when deciding where to eat but it’s also good PR for you. We have some rescued battery hens and so we are very careful about the food we eat when we go out. I look forward to hearing from you.

The only flavours with eggs as an inclusion are Raspberry Pavlova and Choc Fudge Cookie and I am awaiting a reply from Caterlink - please bear with me for their reply as it may take a few days. For the Tea Room Melanie buys free range eggs from a local supplier called Lloyds. I will get back to you as soon as I can regarding the eggs in our ice cream. Many thanks.

Goosey Lucy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks for this Janty, I think we'll go along to the farm at Pebworth as YS missed out on the trip to Hatton the other week as we were on holiday. Fingers crossed for nice weather. Anyone else fancy going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
