[Customers_ellenden.harvington.net] HOME GROWN ASPARAGUS & SPRING LAMB NOW AVAILABLE

[ellenden at harvington.net]

Hello All

I didn't think it was quite as warm as anticipated on Saturday, but we had
a barbecue saturday evening in our coats!!!

ELLENDEN ASPARAGUS
We are now picking our own Asparagus!  David has graded it into Premium
(thicker spears), Standard, and the very thin spears he calls "Soup
Asparagus".  You may be interested to know that Simple Suppers buy
Asparagus from us and use it for baking and adding to their Salmon Quiche. 
Helps keep all the produce local!

ASPARAGUS RISSOTTO RECIPE - see further down the mail.



NEW PRODUCTS - ELLENDEN SPRING LAMB
If we are totally honest it is a bit sad when the first lamb of the season
goes.......However that is the whole point of farming, and I am certain it
is that element of sensitivity in David's personality that makes him good
at his job.....



VENISON & WILDBOAR BARBECUE PRODUCE
With the barbecue season upons us, a number of customers have been asking
for the following produce which will be available fresh this weekend:

Venison & Black Pepper Sausages
Venison & Cranberry Burgers

FARMING NEWS
Our youngest pet lamb Poppy, has just had a single ewe lamb.  We hope to
have her and Izzy here with their off spring on Open Farm Sunday June 13th.

We are also hoping that Charlotte, a friend from the village is able to
bring her newly born shetland mare and foal - watch this space.....

Don't forget about the dog show - anyone can enter the novelty dog
classes, or the clear round jumping.  Pop down and speak to Jo, she is
usually here training at the weekend.



CONGRATULATIONS
I would like to congratulate my friend Lucy, and anyone else who ran the
London Marathon at the weekend - She completed it in 3 hours 55 mins. 
Amazing achievment as far as I am concerned!

I think that covers everything for this week - the children are excited
about having a four day week - I hope the weather holds.....

Best wishes

Sara
