From Farm to Festive Table

J_Frosty_Veg_1200x1200 For generations, we’ve been helping families create magical Christmas memories. We take such joy in fuelling their festivities with food and drink that’s been grown, reared and crafted with care, either here on our farm and by neighbouring producers. Of all the meals we share each year, there is no question that the festive feast is the most important one.

Every family has their own traditions. For some it’s that tremendous roast turkey, for others, Boxing Day glazed ham or a show-stopping rib of beef. Whatever takes centre stage, it should be properly reared, beautifully prepared, and shared with love.

For us, it’s always been the vegetables. There is a quiet magic to our farm in winter, a stark contrast to the bustling food hall. Each day the sputtering of our Land Rover breaks the stillness of dawn as we begin our morning haul.

Fields might look bare at first glance, but they’re full of life; cabbages curl tightly against the frost and kale stands tall as the cold wind whispers through. Red cabbages squeak with morning dew, sprouts cling to their stalks and leeks are pulled from the earth. Picked the very same morning they reach your kitchen, these vegetables arrive with flavour, nutrients and antioxidants at their peak. For anyone used to supermarket produce, this is a revelation - a reminder that natural goodness begins to fade within 24 hours of harvest, long before supermarket shelves even see them.
