Sally's Smallholding

Sally's Smallholding Welcome to our smallholding on 15 acres of local land in Horsham. We sell our surplus vegetables, fruit, herbs, plants, eggs and meat.

We also do seasonal flowers and a range of fruit vinegars and preserves. The fresh produce changes with the seasons. We will have eggs and preserves and some meat for sale through winter so do message us if you’d like any or to come and browse. οΏ½

When there's not much grass and you are lucky enough to have huge hazel trees at home, it makes perfect sense to cut a load for your sheep to keep them in greens whilst the grass is in short supply.

Our car, is used to being a real workhorse at our farm transporting hundreds of kilos of feed, timber and occasionally even livestock. However this is the first time it's become a feed trough!

The lambs decided that eating out of the back of the vehicle was far nicer than eating off the floor. I wondered if someone would actually climb in at one point. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ₯°

Update 16:34: Our drive is clear. πŸ‘

Never a dull moment! Our drive is blocked by a passer by whose car will hopefully be lifted away in the next 15/20 mins. You can park and walk down, Neil is on the gate arranging that or can come to the gate if you need us to and will stay open later if you prefer to arrive when the drama is over.

We are open 2 hours a week and that's the time we get blocked in. πŸ«£πŸ˜‚

The apricot jam flew off the shelves last week so this week I've made our very first plum jam. We've had Wlid Plum Jam, which is made with yellow bullaces, available for sometime but we've had our first plum harvest, at last. I've also made some fig jam as that's been really popular too.

As it's the summer holidays, some of our regular egg customers are on holiday so if you'd like some free range eggs put by for you this afternoon, please let me know.

We also have lots of frozen lamb steaks and chops in the freezer including our last pack of lamb shanks which usually sell out straight away.

Open today, Friday 3-5pm. 😊

Myself and the lambs have a weekly routine of using the lamb weigh crate. I rely a lot on keeping tabs of their weights. A young lamb not gaining weight or even losing weight, gives us an indication of a problem that might not be outwardly obvious. So it's another tool for making sure our little flock is in the best possible health.

This years lambs are super cute, very friendly and so well behaved. As there's no grass to eat, they know to come down for their breakfast in the troughs and in order to go back to their field, they line up, and one by one, pop in the weigh crate. Sometimes two try to get in a once but only one will fit.

Sometimes they like it in there so much, they just stand in there and need a little shove to get going again.

This week everyone had gained weight. Well done lambs. πŸ₯°πŸ‘πŸ‘

Years ago we moved an apricot tree from our back garden to the smallholding. It had never fruited and it got stuck in with the thousands of hedging trees we planted along our perimeters. After checking it in the first year or two for fruit and finding none, I totally forgot about it..... until this year where we saw a branch sticking out with lots of orange looking fruit hanging on it!

That was a truly fabulous moment, after years of thinking we'd never get home grown apricots, apricots arrived!! I'll never have to buy jam again for my iced cakes and marzipan.

I've made a small batch of jam with all the fruit we picked which will be on the shelves from tomorrow. Neil is delighted and thinks we should keep it all for ourselves. He has delusions of me baking far more cakes than I'm willing to commit to so on the shelf it goes. (Please no one tell him)

Also the lamb is in, but I'll update you with pictures and prices when I put our weekly sales post up in the morning. We will be open 3-6pm though as we have meat in the chiller to help anyone who would prefer to pop in after work.

I've just packaged up some fresh lambs liver if anyone would like a pack this afternoon. Ideal if you want to portion it up yourself for the freezer. 😊

It's another silly hot and dry week so we've mixed up the veg that we have for sale this week. Gone are the cucumbers as they cannot be trusted to be as nice when they get overly hot but in come the peppers who adore the heat. We have some huge ones! I just love how shiny they are.

We've also sent off the first of our new season spring lamb so look out for that soon and do let us know if you'd like to be added to our meat priority list as it does tend to go fast.

Open today, Friday 3-5pm. 😊

There's not a lot to eat at the moment for any of us as not much is cropping in this arid heat but especially for the sheep. We are feeding them hay and some hard feed but we are lucky to have some hazel trees at home which are hugely overgrown so we have been cutting them back in a win/win situation for our neighbours and our sheep. Everyone seems to be managing for now. Can we all do little rain dances please?

Open today, Friday 3-5pm.

We have some huge elephant garlic cloves for available now. This year's harvest has gone very well indeed. We've graded them by size and they are on the counter from today. Great for planting and for eating. Much less fiddly than regular garlic, if you like a big garlic hit.

Open today, Friday 3-5pm. 😊
