Charlotte Gurney is more than a little excited about the first ever brown tourism sign pointing in the direction of her farm
IT IS WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT that this month, I share with you, Feast readers, the erecting of our first ever brown tourism sign.
After months of communication with various authorities, Broadland District Council now recognise our business as an official destination for day trippers and customers alike.
Although access from Blue Boar Lane will only remain until June, clear signage will now lead the way from the main road down to the farm.
In the four years of being a farmer's wife and putting our energy behind the ever growing business, I have come to respect signs of all sorts.
It seems you can advertise where you like - print, radio, online - but what people really like is a good old fashioned sign telling them where they can have their next cuppa!
You'll note that I've taken this to heart and at White House Farm we sport many a sign from the moment you turn in, from 'beware of the goose' to a parking sign for 'golden oldies' and even some Norfolk speak 'keep-a-troshin' to give encouragement on the long drive.
It may seem a little bonkers to some of our first time visitors but it certainly adds character to a special place, not to mention getting people talking.
I'd be a rich lady if I had a pound for every customer who has arrived at the counter smiling, ‘we loved the signs coming down the drive, particularly the 'don't despair, you're nearly there' one, just when we wondered where we were going’!
So next time you pass Blue Boar Lane on some miserable supermarket trip, give our new signs a go; come and seek us out. I promise it will be worth it!
Tables are looking good, thanks to the girls at Amber Rose...
