We went back to Marple Farmers Market for the first time this year. It was a lovely sunny and hot day. It went well, though it was very slow till about half twelve. Then we sold lots of ice cream up until the end at two. We sold out of black and red currant and damson ice cream, though I can make more damson ice cream soon. We'll be back next month. Here's a photo of our new laminated ice cream information sign.
It was a lovely sunny day at Hoghton Tower this month. We did pretty well but it was a bit quiet. maybe because it was Mothers Day. We were selling ice cream, pumpkin and lentil soup and black peas.
We were doing cheese and onion pasties at Appley Bridge this month. They went very well so we will definately do them again.
We had a stall at Smithills Craft and Food market again this month. It was quieter than last time but still alright. We will be back next month, hopefully with ice cream.
Hoghton Tower was good this month. Luckily it was a really nice sunny day, with no wind. We were selling black peas, and pumpkin and lentil soup, both of which sold out. Also I manaaged to sell twenty ice creams which was great! We'll be back next month and I'll make more soup and black peas.
Appley Bridge was better this month, we managed to sell ten ice creams. Also most of our cheese, as shown in the picture above, though we didn't take very much. We'll be back there next month as usual on the 17th of March. I've ran out of vanilla ice cream now so I'll have to get going on making more next week.
Yesterday we went along to the first new Smithills Craft and Food Market at Smithills School. It's just round the corner for us, which is great. It was very very cold. We were selling just cheese outside in the car park. We did well and will be going to the next one on the 10th of March. If it warms up a bit we will take ice cream next time, and also cheese bakes and other things.
