CHARLOTTE GURNEY OF WHITE HOUSE FARM NEAR NORWICH TELLS US ABOUT THE NEW VEG SHED AT THE FAMILY FARM
NEW YEAR, NEW REGIME and further promises to eat more tasty veg!
That's why at White House Farm, we are very excited to announce the launch of our 'veg shed' in the courtyard at the farm. Following great interest at our Christmas Market back in November, we have collaborated with our vegetable growers in Aylsham, the wonderful Brett family who have been growing veg since 1995.
They started out with a field, no tractor and a £5k loan from the bank manager, but now successfully farm around 40 acres. Twin brothers and Dad, Steve, man the day to day growing while sister Louise looks after the office and keeps us abreast of what should be on offer week to week.
It's normal in their family to expect ‘meat and nine veg’ on your plate, not two! Today, they grow and source much of the fruit sold in independent shops in and around the county. It's an exciting venture that sees two local families joining force; we believe it better connects our customers with where their vegetables are coming from each week.
Customers will be able to talk to the family behind the farming and really know more about what's in season and what's growing well. They will be launching their veg shed at this month's Farmers’ Market on Saturday, February 17 in our courtyard. Regular customers can watch it going up from the comfort of the cafe.
Typically February would have been 'hungry month' in bygone years, with the winter crops drying out and the spring crop not yet ready, but fortunately that won't be the case at White House Farm.
We'll have the freshest cauliflowers, sprouting broccoli, cabbages, leeks, kale, cavolo nero and kalettes around!
As you know, we're passionate about connecting our regulars with the county's great producers, both in the butchery and across the shop, so this is a step closer - helping customers enjoy a great array of fresh veg as you would in markets on the continent. Besides, where else can you park for free and find such a range without going into the city? I think it's worth firing up the blender and committing to a healthier way of life and, as Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall says, that way there's less space for the less nutritious naughties after your main meal!
Customers attending the market will receive a 10 per cent voucher with their purchase to use on veg in March.
