We did this lovely walk last summer, from Wells to Glastonbury. It goes through some beautiful countryside and we rang the bells on the way - it's great to hear the full story of the Syrens and the bells, and to hear them all played together to make the full melody.

The weather forecast is looking fairly good for Saturday morning, so it will be worth popping down to our local farmer's market!

Kick off the bank holiday weekend with a fun filled morning at Midsomer Norton Farmers Market! After the disappointment of having to cancel the market last month, we are back with a jam packed market on the 4th of May featuring:

Tulip season - and you can pick your own, locally grown ones!🌷🌷🌷

🌷 Our tulip field opens this weekend 🌷

Following a slow start to the spring, the first of our tulips are FINALLY ready.... pick-your-own tulip tickets are now available to book for this Saturday and Sunday 🙌

Each ticket enables you to pick a bunch of 15 tulips, just book the number of tickets according to how many tulips you'd like. Tickets are here: https://www.farringtons.co.uk/tickets

We are hoping that we will have other picking days in coming weeks but it has been a tough, wet winter for them out there!

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱It's time for the obligatory wild garlic shot again - and we have tons of it! It's pungent aroma fills the air outside, especially after an April shower, but the flavour is wonderfully subtle and mild. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Good morning long weekenders!
Happy April 1st, don't worry, no pranks but shout out to whoever striped that field, it's giving the view a cute twist this month!
We've sent out our May newsletter, it's mainly just new diary dates for brunches, curry nights, Monday roast. We're not doing any supper clubs in May as wedding season is kicking off and it's set to be a busy month in the barn. But we'd love to see you for curry nights and brunchy mornings...maybe May will see the big green doors open up to that ⬆️ view and be warm enough for al fresco dining? Wishful thinking?
For April we are hosting some very special foodie events for festival, lunch is sold out, but there is a little space left for the evening supper, a menu created entirely around the Persephone Cookbook collection, head to the Persephone website for tickets!

Learn how to forage at Radford Mill Organic Farm 2024

This 2.5 hr scenic foraging walk will guide you through all the fundamentals of foraging and help you discover the abundance of fresh greens, edible flowers, herbs and fungi available through the seasons.

Radford Mill Farm is a 115 acre organic farm just outside Bath in the Cam Valley. It is dedicated to sustainable farming in harmony with nature and includes woodlands, species rich pastures, a river and other water sources, as well as a disused canal and railway line both of which are public access routes and include havens for wildlife and native plants. It’s the ideal spot to come and learn more about how to safely and sustainably forage for wild food and medicine.

Explore this idyllic setting as we discover all that nature has to offer. You’ll be guided through the identification process and given hints and tips on how to use the ingredients we find, as well as learning some fascinating folklore about them.

This walk will help you to connect to the environment around you and empower you to go on and learn more. It will be an exploration of the senses as we discover what is growing around us.

Please allow yourself extra time to find the farm and park so we can start on time, and be prepared for what ever the British weather may bring!

Tickets available here:
