Last weekend we held our Annual Supporters BBQ. Over 100 people from across the country attended. Some returning visitors and for some it was their first Fordhall experience. The lovely bunting donated by shareholders 2 years ago covered the farmhouse garden, displays told the Fordhall story, Charlotte took groups on guided tours and Ben provided food from his new catering trailer.
After weeks and weeks of rain, Sunday was a day of warmth and sunshine - thankfully!
Shareholders and volunteers came from Surrey, the Wirral, West Midlands, London amongst many other locations across the country.
We would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who attended, especially those who travelled to Shropshire especially. It is great for us to have the opportunity to thank you personally for all your support at Fordhall over the years.

ALSO this is your last chance to come to our Mega Moth night, this evening from 8pm-12am! Come and help identify moths, learn about them and admire them. You can come and join in the fun anytime. Just park up and make your way to the picnic area - see you there!

Thank you so much for a lovely day at the Supporters BBQ - it is
great to see the Farm in such good nick and to catch up on the latest news.
Thank you for a lovely afternoon yesterday, Gerry and myself had an enjoyable time. We met a couple from Silverstone. It turned out that the lady and myself had a common interest in Music. Becca joined us and told us about the activities at the farm and the work you are doing and hoping to do with Schools which is great. It is important that children learn about farming, how to grow vegetables, and to learn about wild life.
It showed how she spoke about Fordhall that she loves what she is doing and it was a pleasure to spend time chatting and also hearing about her amazing journey.
The food was lovely Ben, the weather was kind, and it was good to see you both again.
Thank you for giving us such a lovely day out on Sunday.
It was our first visit to Fordhall Farm and we were given a very warm welcome. Charlotte's talk was very interesting and the work of the Initiative is exciting and worthwhile.
It may have been our first visit by I don't think it will be our last.
Just a word to say thanks to you all for putting on the the get-together on Sunday. I know you all have more than enough to occupy yourselves and giving up a Sunday too.
The guided walks with super commentary were much appreciated! And given the awful summer weren't we lucky with the weather?
