Once again, we’ve all been caught on the hop with unpredictable weather. Last year we saw a record 40º in July, but this year just seemed to rain! Maybe we are a little more weather conscious than most – but then, we’re a working farm! However, whatever the weather, the nation’s obsession with gardening goes […]

Since lockdown in the UK, we spend over £250m every year on seed for our beloved garden birds. That’s an awful lot of flaked maize, peanut granules, nyger seed and sunflower kernals. Plus mealworn, suet blocks… – in fact, you name it, we the Great British public serve up over 150,000 tonnes of it every […]

It’s been another “busy day in the office” for Mr Peck, hay turning in preparation for baleing. Hopefully! If the weather turns and it gets wet, then we will make what is called haylidge – still good but then it has to be wrapped to stop it going mouldy. It’s nicer to have bales of […]

On 25th Sept we will be holding our first ever Macmillan Cancer Support coffee morning. Now, I may be good at heating through our tasty sausage rolls and pasties each morning, but I’m leaving the cake baking to friends and members of the team both present and past. My contribution is this lovely hamper which […]

This year our live events calendar has been bursting at the seams with interesting things to see and do. A recent visitor was the lovely Paul Robertson, who gave us all a great day’s entertainment pressing apples to make the the most delicious apple juice we have ever tasted. Over 50 litres pressed and sold! As […]

Congratulations go to our team member Becky, who has just achieved her Level 2 Food Safety It’s part of the ongoing programme of training and appraisals that ensure Pecks Farm Shop is always able to meet and excel in all areas of food handing and preparation Well done Becky!

Earlier this year, Jackie – team member and a regular face at Pecks Farm Shop for many years – tried growing tomatoes from seed. You can see from this massive plant and Jackie’s massive smile just how well it went. So, we began selling the plants to raise money to help support the invaluable work […]
