Christmas at New Close Farm Shop
Hello and welcome to our seasonal page for everything going on at New Close Farm.
Now its officially winter, we are preparing for Christmas - finishing stock, planning our work for the farm shop and gearing up for a busy few weeks!
Christmas orders...
If you’re starting to think about your Christmas meal, look no further than us. At New Close Farm Shop we will have a fantastic range of joints and traditional birds.
We have more or less stopped taking orders for "centre piece" pieces of meat, but we are now taking orders for your entire Christmas meal. Please complete our order form and return it to fruitandvegdurham@googlemail.com. We will of course have back and streaky bacon, sausages, chipolates, sausage meat and plenty of other meat available on the day, but we will happily put some aside for you with the rest of your Christmas order if you include the details on the form. You'll see from the form that we also stock all the fruit and veg you will need for Christmas (of course all local and / or organic) so you can choose from a range that will include everything you need as well as a lot more!
For a more unusual gift (or just for your own pleasure!), we’re once again stocking a great range of Jams and Chutneys, our aim is that more and more of these will be made from ingredients grown on the farm and sold in the farm shop. With such a great year for fruit, why should we source inferior quality ingredients for the sake of a little bit of time and effort?
We’re also hoping to start producing recipe cards in the shop, for example, Angela Hartnett's “Ham Hock and Cannelini Bean” soup – perfect for autumn evenings, and crisp winter weekends! We’re lucky enough to have been given a traditional family recipe for Christmas Cake; see our recipes page for details and visit the shop for top quality organic ingredients to make it with!
