Calling all chicken keepers!!!
Did you know that new rules, announced today, make it a legal requirement for everyone in Great Britain who keeps birds to register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), even if the birds are kept as pets?

***Keepers must register, regardless of the size of their flock, before 1 October 2024 in England and Wales and between 1 September and 1 December in Scotland….
🐓🐓🐓🐓
“These changes will improve the effectiveness of our national disease control measures and better protect the poultry sector from future outbreaks of avian disease.”
.
We registered voluntarily years ago and it’s been really helpful to receive updates re: poultry health and local risks of disease.

A quick check around the garden in between rain showers and I notice that some of the fruit (🍅🍇) are starting to/are in danger of splitting due to the extra water that’s been available recently 🌦️🌧️💦
Harvest any that are still in good condition they may well be good to eat, if you are worried about the splits, check on slicing…
Split fruits can attract fruit flies after the sweet juices… (flies lay eggs that hatch into maggots #justsaying 😉)

Our latest post on @thechiswickcalendar recounts our recent preserving projects and points to the exciting new courses coming up.

'As a baker, we nurture natural wild yeasts to ferment many of our breads and September is the time that we traditionally celebrate Sourdough. Our small group courses teach the timeless traditions and techniques that make this bread so popular, guests try their hand to several different recipes including our Great Taste Award winning Cranberry and Pecan Sourdough.'

Our Cheese Together course invites families to learn where our food comes from by splitting curds from whey to make fabulous fresh cheese.
This week we gathered nasturtium leaves & flowers from the garden to fill a garlic roule, we rolled soft cheese in apricots, sultanas and cumin seeds and made fresh cheese in ricotta baskets.
Plus crackers with rosemary from the garden!
Next course: Wednesday 30th October (Half Term)
