Hallo Dear Friends
Thank you for your orders last week and to all those who came the August Farmer's Market at the BSCPCA animal shelter last Saturday. Even though it was a cloudy start to the day the turn out was pleasing and on behalf of the stall holders and BSPCA I would like to thank you for all the support so far this year. As a reminder I have attached the calendar for the monthly markets for the rest of the year but there will also markets at other venues such as the one at The Patio at the end of September.
Farmhouse Flavours Baking Classes
We are excited about the first Baking Class which takes place tomorrow and there is still time to join the second class next Saturday. Please see the information below and the attached flyer.
In our second baking class on Saturday 16th August you will learn how to make bread dough using yeast and then use in some great recipes. What's more you will take both the recipes and samples home with you!
Advanced Organic Workshop
Our last Advanced Workshop of the year is coming up soon on Saturday 23rd August. 4 key topics in Organic gardening/farming will be covered in depth including practicals and a presentation by an expert on compost making. You don’t need to have attended the previous introductory workshop to take part. 💚🤎💚
Please note that the Early Bird Price is only available until the 15th August! 🏃🏼♀

If you are new to this service please contact me on Whatsapp - 71726027 and I will send you the procedure for using this service. The procedure is also pinned to our Whatsapp group and it gives directions to REWA as well as the collection times so please read. Thank you.
