I’m constantly amazed at how many different cheeses can be made using the same three ingredients: Milk, Rennet & Salt
The very slight changes in *Technique *Temperature and *Time allows us to create hundreds of varieties.
Why not celebrate the cultured curd by learning how to make your own cheese on one of our courses?

We’ve been crunching the numbers to see how much

We’ve been crunching the numbers to see how much we harvested last year from both the garden and the allotment…
I’m pretty happy with the 50/50 split between food from plants (fruit & veg) and food from animals (eggs & honey).
See full details in our latest blog post (link in bio).
Do you log all that you harvest?

How shall I cook it?

Each January I pick one very cold, short day to check on the bees 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
The timing is perfect, with minimum cocoons in the hive, to treat the colonies with oxalic acid to destroy the pesky varroa mites. I also check that entrances are clear and they have enough food stores to last them through the coming weeks.
This time last year as we opened hive after hive, we were devastated to discover that most of them had died 😢
👎🏻 warmer autumn delayed their winter preparations?
👎🏻 new queens failed to mate?
👎🏻 old bees dying and blocking the entrance?
👎🏻 slug invasion?
🌟Fortunately, my visits today confirmed that all seven colonies are fine and dandy - such good news 🙌🏻

Frosty the snowman had the cats as his best friend

Frosty the snowman had the cats as his best friends
Sitting either side, made the foxes hide
Or out ‘the garden they did send

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say
He was made of snow but the chickens know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in
That honey jar he found
For when he ate some on his bread
He began to dance around...

Merry Christmas from Hen Corner!
