A Review of my Ice Cream

Here's a review of my ice cream from Matt Badham at the Forbidden Planet Blog. My first ice cream review!

Prestwich Food Festival - December

Prestwich Food Festival at the Longfield Suite was brilliant on Sunday. We were selling goats cheese, tasty lancashire cheese, cheese and onion pasties and ice cream. We did really well, thanks everyone who came along! It was nice and warm indoors and very busy.

Bromley Cross Farmers Market - December

On Saturday we were at Bromley Cross Farmers market selling cheese and black peas. It was very cold, brrr, though it stayed sunny most of the time with no rain.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - November

Mere Brow was very good this month. We sold a lot of cheese and all our cheese and onion pasties. We'll be back next month with some Christmas cheese, such as brie, blue stilton and award winning Irish cheese selction packs.

Hoghton Tower - October

Hoghton Tower was very good on Sunday, it was nice and busy. We were selling black peas, mexican bean soup and ice cream. Next month I'll have a different soup.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - October

Mere Brow was better this month. They had morris dancers on. We were selling cheese and cheese and onion pasties. Back next month with more cheese.

Bromley Cross Farmers Market - October

We went back to Bromley Cross Farmers Market yesterday at Hollands Nursery. We were selling black peas, cheese and ice cream. It went well so we'll be back next month and December. next month we'll have lots of black peas for Bonfire Night.

Hoghton Tower Farmers Market - September

Hoghton Tower was a very wet and windy day on Sunday. We did ok considering the weather. We sold all our black peas and most of our new Mexican bean soup (which is very good if I say so myself, which I do). We'll be back next month with a lot more black peas as it will be properly Autumn then.

Smithills Food and Craft market - September

We were back at Smithills market this Saturday after it was closed for a month for the school holidays. The local MP came and opened it and Radio manchester were there too on a treasure hunt. We did well, selling cheese, cheese and onion pasties and ice cream. We'll be back next month, when it moves back to its usual dates of the second saturday in the month.

Inglenook Artisan market - September

Inglenook Artisan Market was good this month. We were selling carrot, red lentil and tomato soup and ice cream. We sold a lot of ice cream as it went really hot near the end. We 'll be back again next month with more soup and ice cream.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - September

Mere Brow was a bit quiet this month due to the Southport Airshow being on the same day. Never mind, we were still selling cheese, cheese and onion pasties and cheese and potato bakes. We'll be back next month as usual. These photos are before it started as we were setting up. Thanks everyone who came along!

Guide Dogs Open Day, Atherton - September

We were at the Guide Dogs Open Day in Atherton again this year on Sunday. Here's a few photos of our stall and the setting up of the site. It was a good day though the weather was a bit ropey, with drizzle every so often. There were a lot of people there. We sold a lot of black peas and a good amount of ice cream. Thanks everyone for coming!

Harpers Lane Allotments Open Day - August

The allotments open day went very well this year. We sold loads of cheese and loads of ice cream. Thanks everyone! Me and my dad have made the big new sign above in the second photo for the ice cream stall. The day was sunny except for an hour of heavy rain in the middle of the day, but it dried up again afterwards and didn't spoil the day.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - August

We had another good market at Mere Brow this month. It was very hot and sunny. We sold lots of cheese and all our pasties and bakes. We'll be back next month!

Appley Bridge Farmers Market - July

Appley Bridge was a bit quiet this month. We were selling ice cream, cheese and cheese and onion pasties. The weather was a lot less sunny than I expected, it was lovely on the way there, but it clouded over.

Hoghton Tower Farmers Market - July

Hoghton Tower was good this month. It was the tenth anniversary of the farmers market so they had a free raffle for a big hamper of food. We sold out of our red lentil, carrot and tomato soup which pleased me. We had whinberry ice cream for the first time this year, I'm making more of it tomorrow with more foraged whinberries from Winter Hill.

Mere Brow Farmers Market - July

Mere Brow was very good this month. As you can see we brought black peas for the first time. They sold fairly well so we'll try them again next month. There was a beer festival there as well so I bought a couple of beers from the Burscough Brewery. And also some scones for my supper.

Inglenook Artisan Market

Inglenook Artisan market was quieter than last months but we still did ok. We didn't sell much soup but we sold plenty of our ice creams. We won't be there next month in August but will return in September.

Banks Farmers Market

This was a one off farmers market at the New Fleetwood Pub in Banks. It was a bit quiet but we sold some cheese, black peas and ice cream. I got to have a nice cold pint from the pub.
