It’s hard to believe we are at the end of our 2nd season of Farm & Feast! Where did the time go? Where was the sunshine!!
We have achieved so much this year! We planted potatoes, we sowed sunflowers, created an amazing Summer Solstice arch, cleared weeds (so many weeds), harvested so many vegetables and even managed to create a pretty impressive walkway and steps from the many hundreds of stones on site! Pretty impressive stuff.
But now it’s time to stop - time to relax, to celebrate and to quite literally enjoy the fruits of our labours. Claire has designed a sumptuous feast using the best of the seasons produce. From warming garlic soup, to juicy beef short ribs and creamy colcannon, your cockles will be thoroughly warmed! Roasted pumpkin, turnips and beets will all feature on the menu, alongside the best of irsh cheeses from Mike’s Fancy Cheese.
We will round the night off with a decadent chocolate cake with poached pear and chantilly cream! What more could you want? Well, maybe a final little nibble around the fire pit, where we will enjoy Turkish apple tea, and a traditional Halloween soul cake to finish the night off.
I cant wait to catch-up with you all properly, with a beer in my hand rather than a hoe!
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
