Marsworth: The harvest is in
Eat local: Village farmers are sending their wheat to be milled into flour at Heygates, less than two miles away.
THE HARVEST IS IN! Josie Kempster, of Startop Farm, says: ‘The harvesting has now finished and although the yields were down, we have achieved Grade 1 Milling Wheat. It will be sold to Heygates who will make flour for your rolls and buns etc.‘I thought it looked good when I picked this sample (pictured).‘So many farmers didn’t even get their seed in the ground because of the really wet weather.’It’s good to know that this food is being produced so locally, and only travelling less than two miles down the road to be milled.COOK NEEDED: The Red Lion, Marsworth, is looking for a cook/chef to work in its busy kitchen on Wedn esday to Saturday evenings and on weekend lunchtimes.
