As September rolls in, the hustle and bustle of summer begins to fade. The children are back at school, and parents finally have a moment to catch their breath. It's a time to reflect on the whirlwind of the past few months—did we Brits manage to soak up much sunshine? It’s been a mixed bag weather-wise, but one thing’s for sure: you all certainly made the most of it!
August was a lively month here at the farm shop. Our milkshakes and cakes were a hit, and the outdoor seating was always buzzing with families and friends enjoying the long days. We’ve had a wonderful time serving you, and it’s been heartwarming to see so many of you come together to enjoy the simple pleasures of summer.
Our deli has also been bustling with activity, offering everything you need for a perfect picnic or an easy takeaway meal. Whether you were grabbing a selection of our freshly made sandwiches, artisanal cheeses, or our popular seafood salads, it was clear that many of you were taking the time to savour the last days of summer in the great outdoors. Our freshly carved hams and cheeses were a particular favourite, perfect for those impromptu picnics in the park or leisurely lunches at home.
For those of you who love to cook, our deli counter provided all the ingredients needed to impress as ‘chef for the night.’ From succulent cuts of local meats to seasonal vegetables and flavourful marinades, everything you needed to create a memorable meal was at your fingertips. It’s been wonderful to see so many of you embracing the joy of cooking, using our farm-fresh produce to create delicious meals for your loved ones.
But as we transition into autumn, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy those lingering rays of sunshine. September often surprises us with its gentle warmth, making it the perfect month to slow down a bit. Why not take a moment for yourself? Pop by for a coffee with friends, or enjoy a leisurely lunch surrounded by the beauty of our Somerset countryside.
The farm shop is stocked with the last of the summer harvest, and our chefs are busy crafting seasonal dishes that capture the essence of this in-between time. Think warming soups that nod to the cooler days ahead yet are still light enough to enjoy in the gentle September sun.
So, as the leaves begin to turn and the air takes on that familiar crispness, remember there’s no rush. Come and enjoy the calm before the full embrace of autumn sets in. Whether it’s a quiet coffee, a stroll through our farm shop, or just a chance to sit and savour the peace, we’re here to help you make the most of this lovely, often-overlooked month.
We look forward to welcoming you back. September is here, and it’s a beautiful time to relax, recharge, and relish the last whispers of summer. See you soon!
