The Sunshine Centre for Therapeutic Riding 's Summer Dog Show 2015

We had a super day here at The Orchard for The Sunshine Centre for Therapeutic Riding's Summer Dog Show. The weather was kind, the worst of the heatwave had broken so it was warm and sunny but not too hot for the dogs and of course we have plenty of shade here in the orchard.

Lots of beautiful dogs and their owners turned out for a really fun day

from Crufts champions to 

the rescued "bears", who will hopefully be putting in an appearance at the Pink Tractor Field Dog Show on 2nd August.

Many thanks to Mel from The Sunshine Centre for Therapeutic Riding for organizing the show, Judges and owners.

Our next dog show is on July 26th for Shamans Legacy.

Hand Picked Dog Friendly Trips

Everyone at The Orchard Tea Room was really pleased to be included in the PetLondon article Hand Picked Dog friendly Trips. Here's what they had to say about us:

"The Orchard Tea Room: Dogs, children and muddy boots are welcome in the Orchard Tea Room, nestled in a working apple orchard on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk Border. Everyone in the team loves dogs, and they have plenty of dog biscuits and water on hand for canine visitors! Work up an appetite for the delicious freshly prepared food by exploring the orchard with your dog. They also host charity dog shows, the next one is the 4th July."

How to make strawberry jam using gooseberries as a setting agent

It's strawberry season

and it's gooseberry season too so here's another recipe given to us by one of our customer's this time it's making strawberry jam using gooseberries to help it set rather than commercially produced pectin. The gooseberries do the trick brilliantly, we can testify to that as Christine gave us a rather lovely jar of this jam to try for ourselves and it was scrumptious!

How to make strawberry jam using gooseberries as a setting agent

2 1/2 lbs strawberries
1/2 lb gooseberries
2lbs granulated sugar
Juice of 1 lemon

Cook gooseberries until soft.
Add the strawberries and slowly bring to the boil.
Add sugar and lemon juice stirring until all the sugar dissolves.
Boil rapidly for about 10 minutes until setting point has been reached. (220F)
Allow to stand for 30 minutes then stir to disperse fruit evenly.
Jar.

We have locally grown strawberries and gooseberries for sale in our farm shop on Redmoor Lane, Wisbech and we're open 7 days a week 10-4.

2015 Elm and Friday Bridge Scarecrow Competition at The Orchard Tea Room

On Saturday the Orchard Tea Room & Farm Shop took part in the second annual Elm & Friday Bridge Scarecrow Competition. Our entry comprised of scarecrows made by some of the little people who regularly visit the tea room.

Baby Scarecrow

Little Girl Scarecrow

Father Scarecrow

Mother Scarecrow

Pet Cat Scarecrow

The scarecrows all gathered around our orchard table for a tea break, because even scarecrows need a tea break!

But wait a minute it looks like another scarecrow not made by the children has joined the group. Who could it be?

I expect regular visitors to The Orchard Tea Room & Farm Shop have guessed the identity of the extra scarecrow. That's right it's

Elm & Friday Bridge Scarecrow Competition Sat 13th June helping Billy Lee "Get back on his own two feet"

On Saturday 13th June the villagers of Elm and Friday Bridge will be having yard sales and displaying scarecrows in their gardens all in aid of charity. This year funds raised will be donated to the Billy Lee "Back on my own2feet" fund. Twenty year old Billy has had to have a leg and half hip amputation due to a rare form of bone cancer, the NHS are unable to fund a prosthetic limb of this kind but they are available privately. The initial cost of the "Helix 3D" leg is £70,000.

The Orchard Tea Room and Farm Shop is actually in Begdale Elm so we're going to be taking part in the scarecrow competition. Some of our junior guests have been very busy making our scarecrows for the Elm and Friday Bridge Scarecrow Competition which we will be displaying on Saturday 13th June. It would be great if you'd come along and see the children's handy work we'll be open 10-4.
