Proudly telling our story in the NEW Feast Norfolk magazine...good Sunday morning reading and available in the shop White House Farm, Norwich.
I still find it hard to believe that minutes from Norwich city centre my husband, Oliver and I have the dream life at our idyllic gem that is White House Farm. What started life fifty years ago as a PYO has been our canvas to grow and build in to a destination. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire; Oliver’s former life was as a Royal Marine tackling Somalian pirates in the Gulf and I worked for the small tech business that makes iPhones! Hardly the grounding one might need to take the drafty shed that sold fruit for a few months a year to the farmshop, café and now butchery that you see today in our beautiful Norfolk red brick cart shed. It’s been a roller coaster of a ride, and hard graft as we’ve expanded the business using every ounce of imagination, as we turn redundant doors into café tables, and old apple boxes into shelving to house our fantastic array of local products, most of whom showcase their delicacies at our monthly farmers’ markets.
The butchery seemed the obvious next step, and an ideal way to complement the fruit by enabling us to open all year round. Given we knew nothing about meat/butchery, it wasn’t without some wonderful local people that the whole idea got off the ground. In true community spirit and by good fortune Archers donated their refurbished counter to us, Andrew Clarke at Blake’s abattoir enabled us to meet our local suppliers to ensure our meat comes from the closest farms possible and the best farms. It made me proud to have our first beef from an NR7 postcode, and to be able to tell customers how honest the process is, something the giant supermarket next to us struggles to convey. We recruited our butcher, known fondly as ‘Stevie Wonder’; he has a wealth of experience both on the highstreet and in farmshops and has taken the business from strength to strength and to our delight is creating quite a following.
As you can imagine it was with great pride that we went to collect our FARMA award this month as winner of the ‘Best Newcomer Farmshop’. To be recognised on a national level was truly exciting, and we got to meet the great Will Chase behind the success story that is Tyrells crisps.
We have great plans for the future and the venture doesn’t stop here; we have a conversion of barns in the process so we can house other great local artisan and lifestyle businesses and a play barn for all those little monsters who need to let off steam.
