A Hemel Food Garden outside contract team were in a sunny Watford last week.

The bakery team were producing flapjacks and biscuits this week. Cosey and productive whilst the weather was miserable outside.

A team from HFG were at the Abbots Langley allotments getting stuck in clearing brambles.

Some sad news though. In memory of Magnus and Oakley who have sadly passed over the rainbow bridge and will be hugely missed by everyone at HFG. Two old guys who’ve left a big gap in the HFG family. They are now resting in the tranquility space.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Northchurch farm shop. The teams have been busy making Sunnyside Christmas gifts to sell. This weeks Tuesday crafts have had the festive vibe.
