This week The Egg Award 2014 Blog heads to The Larder at Burwash Manor near Cambridge. It's a renowned foodie destination with over 1500 products on its shelves. They're passionate about food, so you'll only find food in their shop from suppliers that they believe in. They sell a lot of organic produce (some from their own farm) but their basic philosophy is to sell the very best - that way their customers will never be disappointed by anything they buy from them.The Larder is situated on a working organic farm that holds the highest level of stewardship for conservation, so customers can expect them to maintain an interest in providing good quality food.
June 8th 2014OPEN FARM SUNDAY
Head along to Burwash Manor for a fun day on the farm – and meet the farming family and their team of helpers!
What really goes on behind the farm gates? Open Farm Sunday gives visitors the chance to see for themselves the work that farmers do to produce the best quality food for our tables, and what measures they take to look after the countryside and manage wildlife habitats. More than 5 a day is the theme of our Open Farm Sunday this year. Children will see the wide variety of vegetables grown on the farm and can cook up some tasty vegetable dishes with Paola Davies, the Food Hall’s chef, in her field kitchen!
Watch demonstrations of sheep shearing, spinning of alpaca wool from their newly arrived flock, willow weaving, ferreting, blacksmithing, stick making, field sports, and their own asparagus preparation and packing before tucking into barbecued Burwash Sausages and a local beer from the beer tent.
There will also be guided tractor trailer trips, pond dipping, farm walks and talks from the RSPB – not forgetting a children’s activity tent with quizzes, games, art activities, play tables, worksheets, and a machinery display. And before you leave, don’t forget to say hello to the lambs, calves, piglets and farm dogs!
Open Farm Sunday is a free event with plenty of free parking - 10am til 4pm.
