As in the hymn, ‘all is safely gathered in’. Our harvest this year has been easy with the weather, so we combined the last of the beans this week, just before the end of August. We’re still busy on the farms as the cycle starts once more with next years’ oil seed rape already planted...
This month it has been busy out on the Farm as we begin the harvesting which is happening much faster than usual, and there are no prizes for guessing the reason behind that… the weather! It seems we are always discussing it, but it really does play a vital part in what we do, and...
Farming is going very well this month and the dry weather is compensating for the wet weather and flooding that we had last month. As farmers we are all so aware of just how changeable the British weather can be, and we’re never quite happy with it either. In the nice weather I’ve been out...
I ended last month’s newsletter just as I was preparing for a trip to Northern Spain and promised to let you all know how it was in my next instalment. It was a bike trip, and the briefest description I can give of it is that it was wet. Very wet! Northern Spain in early...
Simons News – April 2018 You may have read in my last news that I had got my eyes set on a cross Jack Russel and Fox Terrier puppy, from the local animal rescue trust ‘Hollytree’s’. Well I couldn’t just settle for Geoffrey I had to bring home Geoffrey’s mum Jessica too. They have settled...
Simons News – March 2018 I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter; I hope you’re all enjoying lots of family time over this wet Bank Holiday Weekend. As we head into April there is still no sign of Spring, it appears we get tempted with a few days of blue skies and warmer...
Simon’s News – February 2018 It’s almost March – hard to believe when my last blog contained stories from Christmas and with the sub-zero temperatures outside there’s certainly no sign of spring just yet. We’re hoping for warmer weather over the next couple of weeks as we will ideally need to start applying the first...
Simon’s News – January 2018 Christmas came and went for another year and was thoroughly enjoyable. Now it is full steam ahead into the New Year! It’s a while since I last wrote my monthly blog and so there’s a fair bit to catch up on. In December my father and I went over to...
Simon’s News – November 2017 Christmas is on the horizon and by the time I write next, the guy in the big red suit will be nearly here, or may have in fact already been! The Christmas tree has gone up outside the Farm Shop, an 18ft Norway Spruce from local business Woods Farm. The...
Simon’s News – October 2017 We’ve just had a successful week of Halloween fun with our Pumpkin Parlour and Halloween Kitchen events, organised by our fantastic Marketing and Events team. Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year here at Becketts, the staff put in such a great effort ditching their usual day...
