Recently, we visited two of our local primary schools to talk about fruit and veg, recycling & food waste 🍎
We left behind some colouring competition sheets and thought we’d share a few of the brilliant entries!
They’re all amazing, so instead of choosing just one winner, we’ll be doing a random draw. The lucky winner will receive a delicious hamper filled with fresh fruit and fine food goodies👀 🙌

Are you looking for a new Gluten Free or Wheat Flour variety?
We have SO many options available from @dovesfarm & @freeefoods 😇
On our online ordering system, all of our Gluten Free products have a “GF” symbol underneath – so you’re always sure of what you’re buying🛒
The bags in bold colour are the Wheat Flour options, and are therefore not gluten-free, but are just as delicious 😋

🌱 Rhubarb vs Forced Rhubarb — what’s the difference?
You’ll spot two types of rhubarb at this time of year — and they’re not the same thing.
✅ 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 (𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝) 𝐑𝐡𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐛
Grown in natural daylight
Usually greener, thicker stalks
More tart / punchy flavour
Great for crumble, compotes, jams
✅ 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐡𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐛
Grown in darkness (traditionally under forcing sheds)
Bright pink/red stalks, more tender
Sweeter and more delicate
Perfect for possets, panna cotta, syrups, garnishes
🍓 Chef tip: Forced rhubarb needs a gentler touch — it breaks down faster but gives you that beautiful colour and cleaner flavour.

This year, we did our annual Christmas Tree Collection with St Peter`s Hospice 🎄
Together, we collected and recycled 1,177 trees and raised over £21,400, that’s enough to fund 98 night shifts. It means St Peters Hospice`s amazing nurses can continue to offer their expert comfort, support, and relief to patients and their families in our community 💙
We are so proud of what we have achieved, together🙌

They welcomed their first flock of 1,500 free-range hens back in the 1980’s, and have continued to welcome more & more throughout the years🐓
They look after them in the best way possible, and in turn they look after the eggs, that look after you 🫵
