Harvest


Life on our working family farm is never quite. After a hard spring and summer with the weather the crops have falled behind, the wheat and barley needed July and August to have some warmth and sunshine. Thankfully last weeks dry and warmer weather have helped many farmers to combine there corn and bale the straw.
 
 
So come to Whitchurch Canonicorum to stay
here at Cardsmill farm and celebrate
the Harvest with us at our local Church service on Sunday September 23rd at 11am.
Afterwards join in with our Harvest lunch in the Village Hall
