Down On The Farm


It’s been busy, busy ,busy down on Hendra Farm. Dan has been planting our seed potatoes -in between showers! The varieties are Milvoir, Junior and Raja - the fabulous red skinned potato. All ready to be enjoyed in the spring as 'Cornish Earlys'

Then there’s all the garlic which has been planted and is growing well. Looks like we'll have a fine crop this year.

Dan has been checking the fencing ready for the cattle to go out when spring comes. Our own Hendra farm beef will be back in the shop again for March. We should have a regular supply then for the rest of the year. As always, call ahead (01872 571400) if you are looking for a specific joint to make sure we have what you want when you call in to the shop.

We have a shortage of eggs at the moment and one of our green houses is now the home to lots of day old chicks. The children are very excited! We hope that our feathered ladies will be back to business very soon.
