Apple day - general information
Congratulations to the winners in our recipe and young poets competitions who will collect their prizes at 11am on Apple Day at the farm. We had hundreds of poems entered and the judges found it a very hard job to choose between them but they eventually came up with some deserving winners.
We had lots of recipes entered as well and the GCSE catering students at Great Baddow High School had a great day yesterday preparing the short listed ones under the expert tutelage of the head chefs from Le Talbooth and Milsoms restaurants. The chefs and students enjoyed tasting the finished dishes and the chefs chose the winners.
