Getting ready for a Christmas Fair at Croft!

Well this weekend is about to be spent getting all sorted for a Christmas fair at the Clervaux trust farm at Clow Beck, Croft on tees, all of the stalls there have to hold either handmade stock &/or stock with good green credentials, so it should be a great place to pick up some lovely Christmas presents which are a little different from the norm.


A little about how the farm is ran.....
'The site at Clow Beck, Croft-on-Tees is a 100 acre farmland development where young people will experience a wide range of land based and craft activities. They will be offered a curriculum of practical experiential learning to help with their personal development in independence and employability. The curriculum is designed to help the students build respect for themselves and the world around them by helping them to see their own place in it. Activities include the growing of organic wheat, vegetables and fruit, animal care, green woodwork, charcoal making, blacksmithing, textiles, food processing (meat, fruit and vegetable) and much more.'







The fair is on Saturday the 19th November 10am till 4pm at the Clervaux Trust farm and includes food, arts, crafts & eco friendly goodies. We will be there with lots of our Vintage garden accessories, including old garden trugs, shutters, old wooden step ladders and loads more, we'll also be taking along some lovely gift ideas for gardeners, if you're passing pop in!
