As we are halfway through 2025, it was about time to get the Evolution started up with some continental beef breeds.
Do you know what this calf is?

We are looking forward to the improved hygiene, slower regular feeding and upto date calf health at our fingertips while out delivering.
Looking after customers and calves is definitely our priority.

High wildfire risk alert for Northumberland 🔥

We are urging everyone to exercise extreme caution as wildfire risk remains high across the county following a major incident at Wark Forest that took over two days to extinguish.

🚒 Fire crews from NFRS, Cumbria, RAF, and Forestry England worked tirelessly to contain the blaze, which scorched over 4,000 square metres of young trees, grassland, and bracken.

🙌 Help us prevent wildfires by following these tips:

❌ Avoid open fires, campfires, or BBQs in the countryside
🚭 Fully extinguish ci******es before discarding
🚯 Take all litter home, don't risk accidental ignition
🚗 Be cautious when parking on dry vegetation; hot exhausts can spark fires
🔥 Refrain from prescribed or controlled burns during this high-risk period

📲 If you spot a wildfire, call 999 immediately and provide:

Exact location (grid reference or What3Words)
Direction the fire is spreading
What is burning (grass, trees, etc.)
Any immediate threats or hazards

We should forever remember those that fought for freedom all those years ago. The country worked relentless from the land girls to the front line.

Thank you to all who fought.

As of 26th April, we have had to make the decision to increase egg pack prices by 10p across the range of mixed sized, medium and large.

The prices will be live for ordering on the platform from tomorrow.

Apologises about price rises, but the relentless increases of energy, packaging and pullet prices are putting extreme pressures on maintaining a high welfare environment that we endeavour to achieve.

Do you support British Beef week????

The beginning of the real strike starts today.

Milling Wheat will not be loaded onto lorries and we will all soon see bread shortages.

This government needs to listen to its people.

Stock up as it will run short soon as there was little warning of this coming, but food shortages was always going to be the next card to play.

Please share to make everyone aware.
