WINTER WORK

Published 23rd November 2015

Delighted to announce we won another award on 12th November 2015!  This time for our holiday cottage www.fulbeckgardenscottage.com - A GOLD CITATION from the Lincolnshire Life magazine Taste of Excellence Awards.  So we now have 5 top awards for our holiday cottage and 5 top awards for our rapeseed oil!  Our priority of farming the best we can, combined with producing the very best, fully traceable rapeseed oil and presenting our cottage to the very best and ensuring all our guests are comfortable with all necessary facilities is our aim and receiving all our awards is a reflection of the hard work the whole of TEAM OWNSWORTH put in day in, day out.

Talking of the team - the arable side have been busy with winter ploughing, ready for planting the spring crops in a few months time.  Scenes of a tractor and plough in a field on a frosty morning, followed by a flock of seagulls has to one of the most iconic images of the countryside in the Autumn.  The men are also busy with the end of season machinery maintenance, washing down all the tractors, combine harvesters, and straw equipment, checking them all over and doing any routine and specialist servicing and repairs before putting them away in the machinery sheds over the winter.

Over the next 6 to 8 weeks our team will be cleaning out sheds and repainting on the farm as well as down at the holiday cottage and vineyard, so I shall be making some delicious soups and stews for them to keep them warm and nourished - a time for some more recipe development in my farmhouse kitchen!
