🐾 An update from the farm shop...

If you've noticed things have been a little quieter on our page recently, it's because shop assistant Allison has been off sick for the past couple of weeks.

In her absence, Nettie and Winnie have bravely stepped up to keep things running.

Unfortunately, Winnie appears to have interpreted this as a promotion.

Since taking on her new responsibilities, she has:
• Organised multiple barketing meetings
• Declared herself Employee of the Month
• Demanded additional treats as part of her compensation package
• Listed "napping" as a key business objective

We're not entirely convinced productivity has improved, but customer morale remains high.

Normal service will resume shortly. 🐾❤️

A little greenhouse update from us…

The seasons are starting to shift now.

🍅 Our tomatoes are beginning to ripen
🥒 The mini cucumbers are ready for picking
🌱 And the runner beans are flowering beautifully (which means beans won’t be far behind!)

As asparagus, strawberries and new potato season slowly starts winding down, the summer crops are just getting started.

We’ll also be limiting Allison’s unsupervised access to the greenhouse now that the tomatoes are turning red.
The temptation to eat them straight off the plant is becoming a serious issue.

The squeal she let out upon spotting the first ripe tomatoes could allegedly be heard across Norfolk 🙉

Watch this space!

Now sold here at Packhouse Farm Shop!

Meet your new morning wingman! ☕️✨

If you’re tired of playing barista and just want a coffee that tastes good without the faff, these Tidy Coffee Bags are about to be your personality trait. It’s a high-quality, artisan brew which you can enjoy at home, on the go or take on holiday.

Perfect for the plan-makers, the go-getters, and the "I don't speak until I've had a coffee" crowd. 😅

Just grab a bag, add water, and there you have it - a brew which takes 5 minutes but tastes like it took ages to make. 🤎

Same farm shop. Just with slightly better hydration options. And pizza.

We’d tell you exactly what…
but we also enjoy a bit of suspense.

Keep an eye on this space!

🧅 We never thought we’d see the day…

After weeks of “the onion situation”, we actually ran low yesterday.

It’s been quite the journey.

So naturally, Allison has ordered more —
and we can confirm it was a perfectly reasonable amount this time.

Growth. Development. Character arc.

Thank you to everyone who helped us through this difficult time 🧅

🌦️ Is it just us, or is the weather having a bit of an identity crisis?

One minute it’s sunshine, the next it’s cold and rainy, then it’s bright again… make up your mind!

Anyway, while the weather figures itself out…

🌱 We’ve got Portwood Asparagus in
🍓 And Norfolk strawberries arriving tomorrow

Summer is coming. We think. 🤞🏻
