Once again we are looking forward to welcoming you into the calving and lambing sheds at our annual Open Day, on Saturday 22 March at Binleys Bridge Farm, Debdale Lane, Smeeton Westerby, LE8 0QD. Come down to the farm between 11am – 5pm to see the cows calving and sheep lambing. We will hopefully have a few pigs for you to see too.

Please see above a picture of the structure myself (Claire Coppin at the time), James Stanbridge and Charlotte Stanbridge constructed to display in our field at Beauchamp Grange Farm to thank the NHS and put a smile on people’s faces which at the time we were told did just that :-)

Spier Stellenbosch Albariño 2022/23 (Majestic £9.99).

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the great wines of France. It’s famous because of its quality and because producers can use up to thirteen different grape varieties to make it. One of them is Terret Noir. Years ago, a white mutation, Terret Blanc, ended up in the obscurity of the lagoon of Thau near the Mediterranean between Montpellier and Béziers and was largely forgotten.

In the UK on Friday 31 January duty was £2.67.

What does Dry January mean to you? Does it involve no wine at all, low alcohol wine. Or do you perhaps allow yourself a little dry white wine on “drinking days”?

Comte de Senneval Champagne Brut NV (Lidl £13.99) Fizz for Christmas is a must. But what to buy?

If you love cheese, pop the date in your diary now. Our fabulous cheese festival is returning bigger and better this year at a new venue, Kibworth Community Hub (formerly Kibworth Grammar School Hall).

Producing eggs is mostly an enjoyable business for Liz Vickers senior, of the local Vickers farming family. Liz grew up on a local farm and married the farmer next door.
