Foxbury Farm Shop is thrilled to announce acclaimed Food Critic,  Journalist and Author Helen Peacocke has agreed to join the Foxbury team in celebrating the opening of the new farm shop.
 
On Saturday 20th March 2010 Helen will plant a fruit tree that will act as a symbol of growth over the future years. The tree will be planted next to the fresh fruit and vegetables so customers will be able to watch it grow each time they visit the shop.
 
The day will also include Foxbury Gloucester Old Spot Pig Roasts, a Foxbury BBQ with a special celebratory sausage, cookery fun with the Foxbury Six Nations pizza and a children's story corner. Many of the Foxbury new born lambs will be located adjacent to the shop for customers to visit along with the children's toy ride on tractors.
 
The day promises to be lots of fun, and a real opportunity to invite existing and new customers to the shop to celebrate the best of local produce.
 
The celebrations will run from 11am to 4pm.  The tree will be planted at 11am.
 
If you would like to arrange for a photographer to join us on Saturday, or you would like to use some of Foxbury's photographs please contact Di Dawes on 01993 867385 / shop@foxburyfarm.co.uk. See the website news page to view a snippet of the new shop via the photo album.
