This year we were FINALLY super early with releasing our Christmas stock, and the beauty of it is that I’m actually proud of it. I think that sometimes it can be hard to be proud, and it’s so easy to nit-pick when you’ve made it yourself. No need for that this year!
We made vanilla & cranberry, Bucks Fizz, Christmas spice and Apple & gingerbread pie – and I am absolutely buzzing out of my mind that I actually sold out so early that I had time to make more stock that could be cured and sent out before Christmas – link is here in case you want to buy some! One thing that I will say is that it’s a great secret santa gift for under £15 including postage, just a cheeky though there…
I’ve also branched out a bit too, a few weeks ago my mum got a message from her friend Emma, who owns Felix & Ferns, had a message to ask if I could stand in at a market nearby with only a day’s notice. This has happened in the past too, but it was serendipity – I had a random day off work to take and it just so happened to that it was the day before!! I had time to prep my stand, and had a great day!
I may have finally got a bit of a market bug… It’s only taken 2.5 years, but since covid looks to be over, and I’m getting more confident on my products I thought it was time.
This weekend I’ve got one on Saturday and one on Sunday, plus one of the 26th.
I can’t thank my mum and dad enough for all the help and rushing around they’ve done while I was at work. That’s something I love about being a farming family – everyone really does muck in, I help mum with the website and blogs, and she does my postage for me, a dynamic duo, or dream team!
I’d also like to add a note that I’m super sorry that I don’t blog enough on here – my new year’s resolution is definitely going to be to try and rectify that, I just have so much going on with making stock, packaging, working and helping on the farm. It’s a busy life, but so full of fun.
