We're closed today (Mondays), but looking forward to seeing you tomorrow :-)
We are revving up for my favourite Monday of the year!
The Aylsham Show, celebrating the very best of food and farming in our balmy county, Norfolk. ☀️
Run entirely by volunteers who give up their precious time to raise thousands for all sorts of charities, the show is held at Blickling Park, just outside Aylsham on:
🎪 Monday 26th August, gates open from 8.30am
🎟️ Tickets available from @whfnorwich in the farm shop or online.
You can enjoy our wonderful food market, meet wonderful local producers and taste some real goodies.
Plus you can ride the land train around the showground (for free), and soak up the best of Norfolk. It's a special sort of day out with family and friends and to hear a bit more you can listen in live as I talk to @bbcradionorfolk from 10am tomorrow!

So what were we doing filming today at @whfnorwich ? 🎥
Well, we were doing our best not to talk about the election for one, but covering all things community, local housing, childcare on the farm and what it means to live next door to an out of town hub like White House Farm! For the full story, you'll need to tune in to @bbc1 this Sunday at 10am.
🙏 With thanks to Martin, Stuart and all star researcher and customer Louise.
Plus all the customers that spoke openly about living near the farm and all its merits. #cyclefriendly #dogfriendly #brunch #freeparking #cafe #farmshop #awardwinningsausages #bbq #butcheryNews 19 June 2024 | Like/Comment

Well done to our very own veg team that have partnered with us from the start. A true farming family, our lifeblood through Covid and beyond. They work around the clock to keep us well fed! 👏 News 14 May 2024 | Like/Comment
As the sun shone today, the farmer welcomed school children from our local primary school to stomp around the farm and soak up real farm life watching the tractor drill seeds, dig for worms and see pears in their infancy after the blossom. 🌸
🍐 Enormous thanks as always go to Jacky from @countrytrust - a genius organisation that hooks us schools to their local farms. Thank you for taking the opportunity to make us all slow down, to listen for yellowhammers, buzzards and even spot the tumbling skylark. We all need that time to ourselves and mother nature.
🎒 Rather uniquely, today's children could walk to their school day out @whfnorwich meaning they could really soak up the essence of community, of a working farm and what's behind their daily grub!
🦊 Thank you to @whitehousefarmprimary for bringing their fox cubs class to the farm. It's a real joy to share farming with the younger generations and see (and hear) the excitement as they saw a tractor, found beetle larvae in the soil or ground their corn to flour. We had some fantastic questions but my favourite bit was when we discussed mammals and how foxes have belly buttons!
Thankfully they have promised to come back to sing carols and Christmas and walk through the barley in August, by then at waist height and enjoy seasons of the farm. It is the ultimate privilege to play an integral part in these young minds and build memories to cherish. 🌾

Hip hop hooray 🎉 for Stevie Wonder today! Norfolk's finest butcher, the creator of our Award Winning Sausages turns 60 today. We couldn't be luckier to have this hard working hero sharing his birthday with us today.
The ultimate task master, who led us to victory in the Battle of the Bangers all those years ago.
Happy birthday to Stevie Wonder. ✨
From us all at White House Farm and your very many customers. Happy birthday 🎈 Hopefully they'll spot these enormous balloons and help raise a glass. 🥂

♥️ International Women's Day! ♥️News 8 March 2024 | Like/Comment
This Friday is International Women's Day so I thought I'd just highlight that nearly all our 15+ businesses at White House Farm are run and nurtured by women. They have all built their businesses with us, have their skin in the game and really feel the pulse of the local economy. 💪
@knowles_studios for example have been with us many years, they are run by four sisters and a mega Mum. They capture the hearts of little girls, dancing their way to the stage every Saturday morning. 🩰
To clarify, when you spend with us, you are not only supporting independent businesses, women entrepreneurs but also empowering change.
Did you know that almost 1 in 5 UK companies are led by women? That's over 880,000 businesses. Thank you @hollytucker for highlighting the potential of women-led enterprises.
And as I read last week on my little trip to London. Margaret Thatcher once said,
"If you want something said ask a man, but you want something done, ask a woman" 👠
