@SoVeryBritish I don't like cheese and I don't like tomatoes and I'm not a big fan of bread either! - don't @ me!

A simple cheese and tomato sandwich is the best sandwich. No further questions.

The #Essex #Quinoa is coming in a treat! A lovely job on a crop that Peter & Andrew Fairs have decades of experience with. Unlike Johnny-come-lately Adam Aldridge who’s making a right meal of his first quinoa harvest in #theArchers - good job it’s fictional. (It IS fictional Mum)

What’s a very British exaggeration?
I’ll go first:
“Blackpool illuminations” = one bright light being on in a room, somewhat unnecessarily.

@Agri_Dan97 Dramatic sky! Looking forward to seeing your sea of purple 😊

Borage 24 drilling is go! Before you know it the sea of purple will return 🚜🌱🙌🏻 @FairkingLtd

Hi X peeps, does anyone know of a good eco/green suede furniture cleaner? Thanks 😊

It’s so much easier to say a boring fact about yourself than an interesting fact. Let’s try it. Let’s go round and each say a boring fact about ourselves.
I’ll go first: I recently bought a new charging cable for my phone.

@overthefarmgate @Hodmedods Our first #chia harvest was 2018. Lots of trials but we got there in the end. Yes, do try the #chia and maybe #camelina (aka Gold of Pleasure) as well... Enjoy.
English
@FairkingLtd @Hodmedods Ooh I haven't tried your chia, but will check it out! V cool to see these crops in the uk. Was it a long process of trial and error to begin with?
English
@overthefarmgate - glad you enjoyed it. We have been growing it for many years and #Hodmedod's are a great business to deal with. As a side - have you tried our #chia? This can also be purchased through @Hodmedods as well #yourewelcome 😀

Been waiting to try this :) V cool - quinoa grown by Essex farmers @FairkingLtd for @Hodmedods. I visited a quinoa farm in the Ecuadorian Andes a few years ago, where it originates from. Amazing to have it grown here- Incas to Essex 🤩 This was delish.

I prefer this rain.... #justsaying

☂️ It’s raining quinoa! The grains cascade through the colour sorter Essex growers @FairkingLtd use to remove stray weed seeds. Every grain is scanned for colour, shape & density; if it's not right it’s rejected. Explore our range of British-grown quinoa: hodmedods.co.uk/collections/qu…

@herdyshepherd1 Huge loss to the world of radio. I met him on the TOTP set and he was genuinely one of the nicest people ever. Huge loss. Huge.

And you know what… I was only on a few minutes and yet he was as smart an interviewer as maybe I’ve ever met
He had his game down to a T… we’ve got two minutes so we better get to what people need to hear and make it simple

I spent many a teenage hour on tractors listening to Steve Wright
And later I went on his show and he was genuinely kind - I was nervous and talked super quick and we ended up having a right giggle, even though I went on to talk about serious stuff

Have just been sent this and I’m not sure what the original source is from. Steve Wright getting his afternoon show underway and I love how his ‘posse’ are literally wheeled in and out which is exactly how I imagined it happened when I listened to him as a kid. #SteveWright

Chickpea Pancakes with Creamy Mushrooms 🥞🌿 make a decadent dinner though the pancakes are v simple with just 3 ingredients - chickpea flour, water, salt. Any pulse flour would work well. Naturally gluten-free too.

Apologies for the delay in re-posting this - we have been sooo busy in the office, SM had to take a back seat for a while. Lovely to know that you enjoyed Peter's talk - he really is a wealth of farming knowledge. @IreneKettle
Irene Kettle@IreneKettle
Really interesting talk in #Colchester today from #Essex farmer Peter Fairs about farming and the environment. @FairkingLtd

@Averyslondon @TheCat_Max Have to say, I am with you - cream first, jam on top. The other way, I'm never quite sure how you spread cream on top of jam?🤔 I won't ever complain though, I'm happy to eat it anyway it's served. it's such a yummy thing to have with a cuppa...
English
We received a treat from England Clotted Cream & a Pack of Scones I like mine Devon style with Jam (Portuguese Fruits of the Forrest) on top Max likes hers Cornish style she has posted separately Take a look and tell us which you prefer @TheCat_Max @Averyslondon

@TheWhiteHorsePu @Elite_Bistros @hispibistro @rich_sharples @PINIONbistro Is it wrong I've never tried Tiramisu? 😬

@BurroughesHoney Where Borage grows is down to where our Growers land is. We are definitely growing Borage in 2024. The honey from Borage is delicious.

Finally, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel as we near the end of Borage swathing. What a season! Enjoy this video that was put together for @FairkingLtd by #OwenLast. #swathingborage #swathing #borage #starflower

@Averyslondon @TheCat_Max Looks lush! 🤩 What did you stuff them with & what cheese did you use on top? #yumyum 😋
