Mantel Farm Newsletter - December 2020

It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas

With the shop all decorated for Christmas we are beginning to feel the festive spirit here at the farm, and the sudden cold snap means more mince pies by the fire! After an incredibly long year, that has also flown-by (if that’s not a huge contradiction!) it was really nice to get the decoration box out of the loft and brighten up the shop with lights and tinsel.

Although we are not having our usual 'Festive Friday Event' this year we will be offering tastings of our Apple Juice, Mead and Wines throughout December so why not pop in and try our handmade drinks by the fire? We also have a few extra products available to help with your Christmas shopping in our new Eco-product cupboard including Beeswax Wraps and Furniture Polish - more info below...

Our shop is closing for a little longer than usual this Christmas, so don’t forget to stock up on your chicken feeds - in this latest version of lockdown we are still taking orders through our website for collection by appointment on Fridays and Saturdays, and our shop is open on Sundays 10am - 4pm until the 19th December.

We have also just been informed that chickens are to also have their own new set of lockdown rules due to the risk of Avian Infuenza! This means from the 14th December all poultry and captive bird keepers need to house their birds and take extra precautions, such as cleaning and disinfecting equipment and footwear before entering bird enclosures. We will send full details of this soon in a separate newsletter.

Christmas Trading Times:

Our shop is closed from Monday 21st December for Christmas & New Year

We re-open Friday 8th January

Online orders placed during this period will be processed from Monday 11th January
