Farmer's birthday cake! Yum... #farmshop #bestbake #familybusiness
Planning a BBQ? Remember we are closed tomorrow so you need to be with us by 4pm today to get your BBQ goodies sorted!! Our butcher is missing the Grand Prix specially (so please don't tell him the result!)
Today is the Farmer's birthday, now if that's not an excuse for cake I don't know what it is!!!
If Mr Fox or his relatives 'do' Facebook, PLEASE can you stop eating my chickens. They are the spirit of White House Farm, Norwich each with their own habits and personalities. There are now only 15 left, down from 30. (They're more important to me than the farmer!) Thank you. #familybusiness #fox #dailychallengesðŸÂ”ðŸÂ“

CHARLOTTE GURNEY OF WHITE HOUSE FARM ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY JUST LOVES SUMMER EATING - AND DRINKING!
ALARM BELLS were ringing last month as I stumbled across the most enormous grass snake on the farm and posted it on social media! It travelled across the network like wildfire, generating a whole host of reactions, from horror to admiration. But this beautiful creature was enjoying one of the first warm nights, basking in the evening sun and reminding me how important our al fresco living is. After all, we live in a green, lush
county and the warm weather doesn't hang about, as we well know!
Literally, as the temperature rises and the forecasts go live for the weekend ahead, our butchery counter goes a little bananas. Clearly, there is nothing more that the people of Norwich love than a good old fashioned BBQ. We have a lovely array of kebabs that we are told are second to none, with beautiful glazes meaning effortless food once you arrive home. Not to mention our beef burgers and award winning sausages which attract
customers from miles around.
It's hard to believe that we were leaning over the BBQ in hot competition this time last year as we fought our way to be the Battle of the Bangers winner. It was a very exciting win for us, firmly putting our sausages and farmshop on the map for the local shopper.
If meat isn't your thing (and we truly believe a halloumi and roasted veg kebab can also hit the spot), make sure you take a stroll around our Veg Shed. Having teamed up with local growers, the Brett family from Aylsham, we offer delicious fresh veg which goes beautifully on the BBQ. I let my hero from Jerusalem, Ottolenghi, inspire me as I create sumptuous veggie salads using all the fresh herbs we offer. To top it off, we have fresh
strawberries with cream from our local dairy, Norton's, for pud.
We are proud to stock local charcoal, meat and vegetables, almost all plastic free, helping us stand apart from our neighbouring supermarkets. Independent businesses are fortunate in that they can react quicker than the corporate giants, helping innocent customers reconnect with good, honest food, ethically sourced and produced with love.
Come and take a look at our summer sizzlers, talk to our knowledgeable and passionate butchers, call by the Veg Shed, treat yourself to locally-made chutneys, relishes and sauces, and you’ll taste the best of Norfolk food.
Cherish those al fresco evenings and watch the sun go down with a glass of local gin - there are so many to choose from, too!
