Surlingham

Look at this. Blissful summer days in the Village. This one was taken just down the road from the edge of one of Surlingham’s vineyards.

Wont be long now. But until then, we thought we would tell you what we have this weekend. Whatever you are doing, pop down for some treats or stop in on a walk and grab a fresh coffee, tea, snack or cold refreshing beverage. Beverage. There is a word you dont hear everyday

We have:
Norfolk apple juice, Norfolk yogurt, salami, jerky, chorizo, sausages, local chocolate brownies!

In the freezer:

Lots and lots of wonderful beef, reared here on our farm and hung for 26 days for its beautiful flavour, lamb chops, chicken breasts and chicken thighs.
ice-cream, Norfolk ready meals, sausages and more.

Veg in:

Bunches of beetroot, cauliflower, leeks, carrots, parsnips, red onions, white onions, potatoes, cooking/eating apples and more.

Plus local eggs and we will have some fresh filter coffee on for you.

Don’t forget our kitchen cupboard essentials of tea, coffee, pasta, rice, jams, chutneys, Lentils, Vinegar, stock cubes (chocolate… some say is an essential) and more.

We hope to see you down at the shop.

And whatever you do, from all of us at the farm, have a wonderful weekend.

Kindest regards as always.

All the Surlingham Village Quiz tickets are now sold – the Ferry House is full.  We look forward to seeing all those who have booked at 7 pm on Saturday.

Information supplied by Pat Scowen

We are in need of some gravel (type 1 / drive stone etc) to lay as a drainage layer under a new water play area at School which we will be installing at Sunday’s Busy Bee event (see previous post).

As FOSS is funding this with (hard raised!) money from fundraising events we are keen to save a penny or two if we can….So if anyone has a part bag of gravel or shingle type material lying around at home left over from a building project please do drop us a quick call on 01508 538132. It would be massively appreciated (we will collect and do any hard labour required to get it to school!)

With Thanks,

FOSS

There are still some spaces left for a gentle evening of quizzing next Saturday at the Ferry House.  Tickets are £10 for the buffet at 7pm or, for the quiz only, £2.50.  And if you haven’t got a team, we can find you one on the night. Please could you book ahead of time for the buffet as numbers are needed for catering purposes. Tickets from Pat 538791 or send an email using CONTACT US on Surlingham.org.

Indeed, it is a picture of a fridge, but a fridge full of goodies. We wont keep you long, we just thought we would tell you the treats in store for this weekend. Never mind the rain. It may wet your clothes, but that never dampens the British Spirit… you need hail for that.

In the Fridge we have fresh in today: Lots of local cheese, new Norfolk bacon from down the road plus the bacon we had in previously due to popular demand (and threats by one customer… you know who you are :-). That is what we are here for… to be shouted at.

But seriously, any time, any comments are gratefully received so we can make it the best experience and little shop for you just drop us a line HERE and let us know. We have already found the comments you have left us in our comments book at the shop very helpful.

Norfolk apple juice, Norfolk yogurt, salami, jerky, chorizo, sausages, lamb chops, chicken breasts and chicken thighs.

In the freezer:

Lots and lots of wonderful beef, reared here on our farm and hung for 26 days for its wonderful flavour, ice-cream, Norfolk ready meals, sausages and more.

Veg in today:

Bunches of beetroot, cauliflower, broccoli, leeks, carrots, parsnips, red onions, white onions, potatoes, butternut squash and cooking/eating apples. Eating apples… this implies to me that cooking apples are just for cooking and you don’t eat them. Well you do, and they are very popular and delicious.

Plus eggs in first thing in the morning (duck and hen) and we will have some fresh filter coffee on for you.

Don’t forget our kitchen cupboard essentials of tea, coffee, pasta, rice, jams, chutneys, Lentils, Vinegar, stock cubes (chocolate… some say is an essential) and more.

We hope to see you down at the shop. It is a wonderful walk through the farm track from Mill Road cutting through the farm (stopping at the shop and buying an armful of goods first we insist) to the Covey. Turn right with Wheatfen making a great walk, or carry on to Rockland with the stunning view over the Yare Valley and river.

And whatever you do, from all of us at the farm, have a wonderful weekend.

Kindest regards as always.
