We’ve tried out a new product, it seemed to go well at the farmers market at the weekend, so is now available online. There should be a link to the left, or go to our products page. It’s a mix of nuts and seeds, slow roasted with cumin seed, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. We think it tastes delicious! Let us know if you’ve bought any, and if you’d like to order some.
This is one of those house competitions where you enter by buying a ticket and answering some questions. We’ve often talked about giving a wellness holiday as a prize in a competition like this. Any ideas?

Ed has been busy travelling and looking at food and farming systems around the world, to see what the best way to eat healthily is and how to tie it in with the farming in East Yorkshire. Here’s a link to the report he had published recently:

“THE government is to invest £500bn of your money in British banks so they can lend it back to you with interest.
The historic move is being hailed as a lifeline for the financial system as long as nobody asks too many questions.
Julian Cook, chief economist at Corbett and Barker, said: “The government will give your money to the banks so the banks can start lending you that money, probably at around 7% APR.
“Thanks to all the interest you’re paying on your own money, the banks will make billions of pounds again and normality will be restored.
“After a few years of this the government will cash in the bank shares it bought with your money and use the profits to build a huge fucking dome somewhere.”
He added: “In case you hadn’t already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you’re an idiot.”
Chancellor Alistair Darling said the decision had been taken in tandem with the banking industry, adding: “They used a lot of dirty words I’d never heard before and one of them had an angry looking dog.”
Meanwhile, Emma Bradford, a sales manager from Bath, said: “Why doesn’t the government just give my money to me so I can buy stuff from businesses who will then make a profit and put it in a bank?”
It’s the Monster Challenge this weekend, and up North we go to Inverness where we’ll be running and cycling the 120km around Loch Ness as part of a relay team.
