SNOW CAN'T STOP US!

The only way out!



Eden Farms has been under a deep blanket of frozen snow for over 2 weeks, and we want out! It's like living in a black -and- white photo, my eyes long for some relief from the white fog and whiter fields!
Staff have been brilliant, not a day missed and every round and market attended.
-14* temperatures may have wreaked havoc, but we don't know yet- the farm is still covered in a white blanket. Bring back summer!!!

SNOW STRUCK BUT NOT STUCK!




Eden Farms spent the vital week of Christmas with our farm under 8" of snow! Just as those big orders are coming in, and the manic pre-Christmas weekend of multiple markets arrived, all our careful planning vanished under deep snow drifts, to be replaced by a gorgeous winter wonderland, totally unappreciated by staff and customers alike!
My youngest son Morgan and his mates all turned out in their school skiing salopettes, and brushed the snow off savoy cabbage and sprouts so that Christmas dinners could be served.
Meanwhile, staff struggled into work in a barely accessible valley village never visited by gritters or snow ploughs, and our intrepid drivers crawled along almost un-navigable roads to make sure no-one went short over Christmas.
Well done to the team- we are proud of you all!
