PARTY TIME! Well, here are the photos and a couple of videos – making memories of this years Christmas party!

Led by Joe & Sarah on stage – thank you!

Lots of snowy photos this week for you.

The Northchurch farm shop had one snowy customer on Monday! Keeping warm clearing the paths.

Taking care of the animals and making sure their water isn’t frozen.

Georgie and Matthew made some great Christmas trees – pallets get used for all sorts.

We’re very please with our homemade snowman. The family of snowmen is growing.

The wreath workshop took place last weekend at Hemel Food Garden in the cosy greenhouse. Lots of creative juices flowing and beautiful wreaths made.

Last week a team went up to G.I. Rogers and sons to gather fir foliage for the wreath event.

Whilst the snow is on the ground and the orchard is frozen the teams have been crafting indoors. Card and decoration making.

Trainees’ wreaths – now for sale at the farm shop (could be turned into a stylish hat!)

 

These super ‘glitter’ ball decorations are available in the farm shop now.

Lotty checking out the compost on a lovely crisp morning.
