Becketts Sunflower Field!

becketts sunflower field

Becketts Sunflower Field has certainly proved itself popular again this year. The sunflowers were in a different field this year, sadly the seeds in the field opposite the A435 didn’t do quite as well as anticipated. However, that is true British farming for you! After a wet planting season and an invasion of slugs and jackdaws the sunflower field was officially announced open by lovely customer Lauren on Friday 27th August.

sunflowers in sunsetLauren’s mum Tracey contacted us back in April to explain how Lauren had saved a bee on the pavement outside their house. They often shop with us at Becketts, and as Lauren has such an appreciation for bees,  what better way to open our sunflower field than to invite her to cut the ribbon!

We don’t charge for entry into our sunflower field, however this year we asked for donations to NHS Charities Together. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took time to donate. A whopping £980 was raised!

All the donations we received are so important to us in supporting the NHS. Its amazing to be able to appreciate all their hard work, especially over the last 18 months.

Photo Competition

We loved being able to see loads of amazing photos on our social media pages, by using the #beckettssunflowers. This year we held a competition for the best photo, whereby the winner receives a £100 Farm Shop and Restaurant voucher! sunflower winnerThere is no more appropriate person than Farms Director, Geoff to choose a winner. After much deliberation, he chose the winner as this beautiful photo from Adam on Instagram.

 

Sunflowers will return!

Sadly, the sunflower season isn’t very long and therefore the field is now closed for the year. We truly hope to bring back this popular attraction next year for you all to enjoy. It brings a smile to so many faces, staff members and customers alike.

🌻 SUNFLOWER UPDATE 🌻 With all the hot, dry 🌻 SUNFLOWER UPDATE 🌻 
With all the hot, dry weather we have experienced over the past week or so, the majority of our sunflower field is unfortunately very much past its best. We will therefore be closing the field earlier than we expected, with the last day to visit being on Friday 19th August. 
Our Just Giving page is still up and running though if you are able to donate towards our charity appeal for DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Any donations, big or small are appreciated. 
Please be aware that if you are visiting us this week, the field does look less spectacular than you might hope. 
Swipe to see our sunflower field from the sky! 🌻
