I used to be able to get cheaper wheat direct from a small farm but he has given up.Failing that, would anyone like to set up a feed buying group?

Profile Information
- Why do you think local food production is important?
- Food should be seasonal, fresh, and relevant, and not overproduced so there is waste. Food should also taste of something, and produced in a sensible way, not forced or engineered against natural systems.

- Hi Sharon
Many thanks for your offer. It would be great if you could help out but I've run out of complementary tickets I'm afraid. Are you coming to the Show anyway? If so and you'd like to pop in for an hour or two at the stand there'll be plenty to do - the details of what I'm planning are at http://newforesttransition.ning.com/profiles/blogs/help-needed-at-new-forest-show-1
Do let me know what you think...and many thanks again

I tried the cheese from the Fernhill Cheese Company and went back for more! Soft, creamy and fresh, the children liked it too. Worth stopping at their stall at Lymington Saturday Market just opposite St Thoma's Church.
