Let us know what you think... :-)

@SoVeryBritish I don't like cheese and I don't like tomatoes and I'm not a big fan of bread either! - don't @ me!

The #Essex #Quinoa is coming in a treat! A lovely job on a crop that Peter & Andrew Fairs have decades of experience with. Unlike Johnny-come-lately Adam Aldridge who’s making a right meal of his first quinoa harvest in #theArchers - good job it’s fictional. (It IS fictional Mum)

@TheCat_Max Here you go... I think I got it off t'internet... it lasts forever !!

@SoVeryBritish I get up and go to work.

@overthefarmgate @Hodmedods Our first #chia harvest was 2018. Lots of trials but we got there in the end. Yes, do try the #chia and maybe #camelina (aka Gold of Pleasure) as well... Enjoy.

[Fairking Limited @FairkingLtd]

@overthefarmgate - glad you enjoyed it. We have been growing it for many years and #Hodmedod's are a great business to deal with. As a side - have you tried our #chia? This can also be purchased through @Hodmedods as well #yourewelcome 😀

[Jez Fredenburgh @overthefarmgate]

Been waiting to try this :)
V cool - quinoa grown by Essex farmers @FairkingLtd for @Hodmedods. I visited a quinoa farm in the Ecuadorian Andes a few years ago, where it originates from. Amazing to have it grown here- Incas to Essex 🤩 This was delish.

I prefer this rain.... #justsaying

[Hodmedod's @Hodmedods]

☂️ It’s raining quinoa! The grains cascade through the colour sorter Essex growers @FairkingLtd use to remove stray weed seeds. Every grain is scanned for colour, shape & density; if it's not right it’s rejected. Explore our range of British-grown quinoa: https://t.co/1XIvN8LrnA

@herdyshepherd1 Huge loss to the world of radio. I met him on the TOTP set and he was genuinely one of the nicest people ever. Huge loss. Huge.

[Fairking Limited @FairkingLtd]

@Hodmedods These look rather tasty...

[Fairking Limited @FairkingLtd]

Apologies for the delay in re-posting this - we have been sooo busy in the office, SM had to take a back seat for a while. Lovely to know that you enjoyed Peter's talk - he really is a wealth of farming knowledge. @IreneKettle

[Irene Kettle @IreneKettle]

Really interesting talk in #Colchester today from #Essex farmer Peter Fairs about farming and the environment. ⁦@FairkingLtd⁩

[Fairking Limited @FairkingLtd]

@Averyslondon @TheCat_Max Have to say, I am with you - cream first, jam on top. The other way, I'm never quite sure how you spread cream on top of jam?🤔 I won't ever complain though, I'm happy to eat it anyway it's served. it's such a yummy thing to have with a cuppa...

@BurroughesHoney Where Borage grows is down to where our Growers land is. We are definitely growing Borage in 2024. The honey from Borage is delicious.

[Fairking Limited @FairkingLtd]

Finally, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel as we near the end of Borage swathing. What a season! Enjoy this video that was put together for @FairkingLtd by #OwenLast. #swathingborage #swathing #borage #starflower

@Averyslondon @TheCat_Max Looks lush! 🤩 What did you stuff them with & what cheese did you use on top? #yumyum 😋
