Berry good fruit
Moorcourt Farm is once again providing us with fresh berries- and also fruit juice.
For those new to the area Moorcourt is a farm not far from us in North West Herefordshire where they grow the most beautiful fruit which they nurture from blossom to berry.
It is fruit as it is meant to taste and a world away from the supermarket offerings. Bursting with flavour the fruit season begins in mid-May with strawberries, then raspberries and blueberries begin in mid-June and cherries are available from early July until late August. We have deliveries from them every Monday, Wednesday and Friday - and if you would like to reserve some then do drop us a line or give us a ring as it does sell fast!
This year they have also started producing their own fruit juice and we are stocking their apple, apple and raspberry and also sparkling apple juice. The Gallery Cafe also sells the Moorcourt juices- and they have pronounced them "Delicious!" - so much so we have already had to order more in!
We sell their fruit at a much more competitive price than our nearby competitors - so as ever pop down to the shop and see what else we can tempt you with!

The shop held it’s annual Members meeting at the beginning of June.
It was really good to see a sizable number of shareholders turn out to maintain their active interest in our shop and find out how things are going.
This year saw a new artisan made counter commissioned and installed - funded entirely from donated funds, an IT challenge just before Christmas, new signage around the area - and more.
In brief the shop remains sustainable and against challenging conditions with rising bills (as for everyone) managed to break even in 2024. It would be great to think that we will all continue to support it and do even better next year.
The current committee all agreed to stand again and were voted back in to serve another year - however our treasurer and secretary will stand down next June so we are actively seeking replacements. We will return to this as the year unfurls further!
