It started when dad, Rupert, read about the shortage of English cherries and now from mid July until mid August you can buy up to 8 varieties of cherry in the Old Farm Shop and in various lay-bys listed on the website. The trees are temperamental; they thrive on cold weather which helps to prepare them for next year but they hate the wind and rain. The family use nets to protect the fruit – a technique that has taken the past 12 years to perfect. They need the right amount of fertiliser, pruning to stimulate growth, 5ft fencing to prevent wildlife sharing the produce and regular checks for disease and pests. Bees tended by a local bee-keeper are vital for pollination of the flowers. Then comes the joyful picking! Cherries are more than just another fruit – they are highly nutritious and incredibly good for you. They are low in calories yet high in antioxidants and so can help to prevent cancers and heart disease and could even slow the signs of ageing. They contain melatonin which helps to regulate the sleep cycle, as well as anthocyanins which help to relieve pain. If you love cherries pop along to the Cherry Farm – you’ll find recipes and ideas, as well as some of the tastiest cherries you are likely to sample!

Introducing another ARTea Room Star ARTea Room offers one of the finest selections of home-made cakes in the area. The Toffee Apple Cake is sure to bring back childhood memories of fairgrounds and proper parties! One of the new kids on the block and not one to push herself forward, this cake should take pride of place. Toffee, tell us about how you came into existence? Gosh, well I am just one of James’ little creations, one of his brainwave moments. He was looking at the Granny Smiths and remembering his childhood when the lightbulb went on! You sound delicious... I’m really very simple, chunks of apple at the bottom, covered with delicious toffee sponge and my centre filled with soft vanilla butter cream. Wakefield Country Courtyard, Potterspury NN12 7FA 01327 810245 enquiries@artearoom.co.uk artearoom.co.uk James always says it’s the ARTeaRoom crunch from those lovely Granny Smiths that people like, the texture, maybe. Chrissy thinks it’s the sweetness of the toffee. I suppose it must be the mixture. We think you are delicious! Oh stop it, you’ll embarrass me! James says I am one of the most popular on the counter but I’m really nothing special. I did hear though that James thought I’d be a one-off and one of his customers said I am, because he can’t find anything like me anywhere else. My slight tartness with sweet toffee is probably a perfect combination. You should be proud of yourself! Leisure Thank you so much but it really isn’t down to me, my popularity is down to my creators. To advertise please call 01908 380777 19
