Newsletter No 4

WELCOME TO NOVEMBER’S NEWSLETTER

We hope you will enjoy a little bit of farm news each month – something about the farm, and something about our beef and pork.

 NOVEMBER’S NEWS

This month, it’s all about Covid again.  Another lock   down – but we all need to keep going – whether its business or in our personal lives, and make the best of it.   For us it’s great to see the website picking up new orders – and its been our pleasure to do our free-of-charge home deliveries, to people still following “shielding” guidance,  and of course to everyone else who live within the 30 mile local delivery zone.  Covid permitting, we can also deliver to your work address. 

It’s so nice to hear that younger people have a renewed connection with how farm animals are looked after, and where their food comes from.   If you know someone who is really passionate about these values, do please introduce them to Park Hill Farm – we are always happy to show people around by appointment.

NOVEMBER’S SPECIAL OFFER.  PLEASE SUPPORT the SALVATION ARMY IF YOU CAN

We will be raffling a 5kg Family Shopper meat box voucher through the website to raise money for the Salvation Army (now known as Adullam Lifehouse in Stoke-on-Trent).   Tickets are for sale, at £3 ea through our website. This is ONLY the price of ONE coffee from Costa! Like so many homeless charities, they are working with some of society’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged people.

If you wish to enter and are not in the free delivery area, you are welcome to come and collect at a time and date that suits you – up to January 2022. Hopefully we can raise some money for the homeless.

Felicity and Spotty with their calves November 2020

EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY

The maternity ward has several early calvers waiting in the wings.   To date, 2 cows have calved, both having bull calves that came safely, leaving mums and babies doing well, which is the aim.   We will be letting you know on Face Book as and when the next calvers give birth.   Quite often it can be in the middle of the night, so expect John to be having some interrupted sleep.

ORDER IN TIME FOR FRESH SUPPLIES

The new website takes online orders with automatic credit card payments, if you know exactly what beef you need then please use the website.     If it’s not on the website, just send us an email,   use the website enquiry form, or call us on 0745 0358 812.    The butcher will be doing his job very soon, so special orders need to be with us by the 25th November.   

DECEMBER’S order book is filling up.   Bacon, fillet steak and ribs of beef, are all nearly sold out.

In December our deliveries start on the Saturday the 5th  December 2020 at Stone Farmers Market, Covid permitting, and then area by area through the month.

We hope you enjoy hearing from us, but if you don’t, please email me with the word “unsubscribe” in the subject box and we won’t be in touch again
