Watched Hugh and Jamie prepare this Hearty Sausage & Prune Casserole straight after the Pear & Almond Pudding Cake and thought what a great weekend meal it would make especially in cold old February. The fresh ingredients could be picked up here at the Orchard Farm Shop including the sausages the others are probably in your store cupboard.

Pear & Almond Pudding Cake from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall / River Cottage
Just stumbled upon this video of Hugh Fearnley - Whittingstall making a Pear & Almond Pudding Cake, have to say it looks seriously delicious and that my mouth is now watering... Maybe one for the tea room?
We grow (and sell) pears, sadly not almonds!

Sagitta Potatoes for Chip Week
What better time than Chip Week to tell you about the marvelous Sagitta potato that we sell in the farm shop. Sometimes marketed as the "Chippie's Chip Potato" the Sagitta is actually a great all-rounder but it does make the most wonderful chips and roasties.
For us the Sagitta has overtaken our old all time favourite Maris Piper as we've found it mashes beautifully too.
Grown locally, about 6 miles from us, they are currently available in the farm shop by the sack or 1/2 sack.

So who is Jack Valentine? Happy Valentine's from the farm shop
Also known as Father Valentine or Mother Valentine Jack Valentine knocks on the door on Valentine's Eve (or Valentine's Day), he leaves a present but vanishes when the door is opened. In Victorian times children eagerly awaited Jack Valentine as much as they did Father Christmas, somehow either Mum or Dad always missed his arrival!
Don't worry if Jack Valentine didn't visit we're giving away rolls of Love Heart sweets in the Tea Room & Farm Shop today ~ Happy Valentine's.
