We were very honoured last week to have been recognised at the Urban Food Awards in a special category, Women in Food: The women putting good food on London’s plate. This is where thirty of London’s leading Women in Food are being celebrated as part of the capital’s Urban Food Awards, championed by the Mayor of London.
We were delighted to discover that Time Out Magazine had hunted down our Easter at Hen Corner as a quirky event for all to enjoy. We certainly agree when they say ‘Sounds clucking ace!’
We are so excited as we prepare for this year’s Country Living Magazine Spring Fair – We’ll be there, complete with a clutch of chickens, and will be based in the Smallholding area as one of the first things you see as you enter the event.
How lovely to read in ‘Let’s move to Brentford, west London’ that word on the street recommends river side walks and visiting Hen Corner…
It’s a real pleasure to write for our local magazine, Out & About, each month. This feature talks about how we prepare our bees for the new season ahead.
We’ve been keeping hens in London since 2007 and it was on moving to the house in the corner of the street, the following year, that opened up the possibilities of increasing the size of the flock, indulging in different types of chickens, and welcoming others to come and see how easy it is to keep chickens in a London back garden.
It’s always great when local magazines want to profile all that’s going on at Hen Corner, thanks to Sophie Farrah of The Chiswick Magazine, our local community can be kept up to date!
I always try to keep the diary a bit quieter at the beginning of the year, allowing us to get ahead of some of the winter tasks in the garden and to ensure that we keep up to pace with new things that come in throughout the year.
Here we are, a New Year with loads of new opportunities ahead of us, just inviting us to grab hold of them as they come into reach.
I know I’m not alone in having good intentions for a new rhythm that brings balance to work and home.
To all our subscribers, course guests, customers and visitors,
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
From Sara and all at Hen Corner
