Now the summer is here we often get the chance to visit shows and festivals. First up this summer is The Childrens Food festival on the 27th and 28th June, where Dora and Rona are talking about Elsas Organic Duck Eggs. It looks like it should be a fun event! We also continue to support our local markets at Hittisleigh (2nd Sat) and Tedburn St Mary (3rd Sat).
Back on the farm we are still busy shearing the sheep and making silage. Hopefully we are trying to make some hay this year to try and cut down on our use of plastic. We try and cut our silge in July to give our sky larks a chance to fledge, slowly the numbers on the farm are increasing which is great news.
The ducks are still laying well and now being stocked in 2 more waitrose stores. You will also find them at Darts Farm near Topsham. Read more about the eggs at http://www.elsaseggs.co.uk
Lamb is exceptionally good currently and brillant value when bought as a half lamb to stock the freezer, why not order with some poultry and make plans for great organic feasts in the coming weeks.
