I would like to put together a display of butterflies to be showcased in the church alongside the flower display to mark the King’s coronation. It would be lovely if this could be a could be a community endeavour.
Any crafted butterfly: knitted, crocheted, origami, sewn, sculpted with modelling junk, drawn on paper and cut out would be welcome; the more the merrier.
You can drop your creations off at Mayfield, Ferry Road or in the church porch. I’m hoping to get so many that it will take me a week to put the display together so I’ll need them by 30th April. That’s just four weeks away so we’d better get cracking.
In addition to the butterflies and beautiful flower displays, there will also be a reprise of the knitted street party with a few extra additions and (fingers crossed) refreshments served on Sunday 7th May.
Let’s get the church looking really spectacular!

Hello lovely people! Easter is just round the corner so we have been preparing it with love as usual!
Apart from a great selection of cakes available, many will ask if we will do our Winter Warmer over that period and the answer is: obviously! Along this we will also have roast dinner on Easter Sunday (booking only – either to have in or take away).
As it’s already usual we have a temporary license to sell our Portuguese wine (red and vinho verde), morello cherry brandy and port. So if you fancy something please let us know. This will be available from Tuesday until Easter Monday.
Yare Valley farm shop will have belted Galloway beef from this Friday.
Thank you all for your custom & kind words.
Good afternoon all your wonderful people you.
So it is now officially Spring…apparently…
Try telling that to the sleet and cold. But hey.., fast forward to August and I will be moaning about how overwhelmingly hot it is. Joys of versatility.
We do have something rather exciting for you beef lovers out there. Coming in this Friday the 31st March we have Belted Galloway beef arriving in the shop. Like all our other breeds of cow they are all reared here on the farm. However, the belted Galloway is rare breed and grass fed for an incredible flavour, so it is a must not miss for those looking for a perfect cut of beef. There will be a large array of cuts and sizes for you to choose from.
On Thursday 30th March the Fish Van will be here 1:30pm until 3pm and Alec will be ready with all his tasty fish for your culinary creations.
Teles Patisserie are doing their thing as per with special offers, hot and cold drinks, sweet and savoury treats and are a perfect stop on your travels.
The Shop has just had delivery of a wide range of calzones, more pizzas, eggs will be with us Friday, milk (we have just started stocking strawberry milk as well as the usual chocolate), ice cream, oils, veg, frozen goodies, cakes, crisps, chocolates, rhubarb, kitchen cupboard essentials, Easter treats and much much more. As per we are open 8am until 9pm every single day, weekend, Bank Holiday and come rain or shine.
As ever may we thank you for your continued custom. We hope to see you soon.
Here’s a ‘joke’ for you:
One turned to the other and said, “Wow, it’s pretty hot in here.” The other one shouted, “Wow, a talking muffin!”
Big waves and smiles from everyone at Yare Valley 🙂
Please see attached the minutes for the Parish Council meeting held on Tuesday 14th March 2023.

Greetings all from Yare Valley Farm Shop! Just a quick update now that the sun has snuck a few beams through.
Alec will be with us again this Thursday 23/03/23 1:30PM until 3PM along with a vast array of delicious fresh fish. He pops out his sign at the top of the drive to let you know when he is at the farm.
Some of you may have noticed we have had a few incidents of late with thefts from the shop. It is utterly heart breaking for us to discover people are taking advantage of our whole shop that is built entirely on trust. Rest assured we are doing our best to deal with this issue and have recently just had our whole CCTV system updated and may make some changes here and there which we will aim to notify you about. Because what it comes down to is the vast majority of you use the shop as it was meant to be, and we try to make it as easy to use and as convenient as possible with such features as being able to shop 8am until 9pm in your own time and a relaxed atmosphere.
So we must thank you again for you custom and support of our little village shop. As always, it is very much appreciated.
The shop is full to the rafters with ready meals, pizzas, beef (more fresh beef coming soon and we will let you know), veg, kitchen cupboard essentials, frozen fish, cheese, eggs, milk, Oil, choccys and snacks, Ice Cream, bacon and much much more.
Eggs seem to be in high demand with big supply issues again due to producers not bringing in new flocks to replace the previous years’. Yes Bird Flu has paid a part, but a bigger issue is major supermarkets etc are just not paying the egg producers enough to cover their own costs so that they are running at a loss, which is understandably not sustainable. The price may have gone up in many supermarkets, but that is not being passed on to the egg producers on the whole who have seen rises in feed, transport, heating etc so many are just weathering the storm with empty sheds. Our egg prices have gone up slightly due to rises that we have to pass on (currently £1.80 per 1/2 dozen), but our margins are very minimal so that we can turn over more to you of the essentials such as eggs and milk. We ordered 4x cases for delivery Friday, but have just been told we will only be getting 1x case as there is not enough to go around. And as we cant control amount bought with members of staff, we simply ask you only take what you need/ normally would buy.
The Patisserie is doing a wonderful job of continuing to offer special Portuguese/French style treats with their amazing Winter Warmer on offer. This is soup, bread, cheese, a hot drink and a cake for only £6.90! Due to the success of it they will be continuing the offer all year round with different names etc depending on the time of year and what they have on offer. Now that spring has oficially sprung, what better place to stop off on a walk around our beautiful area. Every now and then I think ‘A French/ Portuguese Patisserie on a working farm beside the Norfolk Broads. How utterly unique and lucky we are to have them.’ But then again I do sometimes wonder why orange Jam is called marmalade, if animals could talk which would be the funniest and if cereal is actually soup… so what do I know.
From everyone at the farm may we again take the opportunity to thank you for your custom and wish you all a very wonderful week
🙂
