Champions of champions - more award success
We are proud to announce that we have been awarded the coveted Countryside Alliance Clarissa Dickson Wright Award at The House of Lords. The Clarissa Dickson Wright Award is one of the most esteemed honours presented by the Countryside Alliance, recognising individuals and businesses that embody the spirit of rural communities and contribute to their prosperity. We are delighted that the hard work of the South Brockwells Team has been celebrated in this way.
"We are immensely honoured to receive the Countryside Alliance Clarissa Dickson Wright Award," said Sarah Robinson, "This recognition is a testament to the hard work and passion of our entire team. We are deeply committed to preserving the traditions and values of our countryside, and we will continue to champion quality produce, the education of the future generation and the invaluable contributions of our farmers and producers."
South Brockwells Farm at the Heathfield Show
We could not be more proud of our farm school children. As well as our mobile farm in the education marquee at Heathfield Agricultural Show, this year we also took 6 students who were showing in the Young Handlers classes. Our students did a fantastic job. It takes a lot of courage to try something new, join in on a day with such big crowds, talk to the judge about their sheep, smile and make eye contact with them, handle some boisterous lambs and spend hours grooming and preparing. All of our students did exactly that and did us proud.
At last, it's time to fire up that BBQ
With the sun finally shining, it's time to get your delicious, fresh meats, salads and dips from our farm shop and get grilling!
Farm Shop Cafe - open Friday and Saturday 10 am - 2 pm
Our talented friend and chef Angela Carter has been cooking up a storm in the Poacher's Pocket using our home grown produce. Why not pop in and treat yourself to something fresh and delicious? Whether you fancy a handmade sausage roll, one of Angie's Ultimate Burgers or simply some freshly ground coffee and cake we will be pleased to see you.
