GFS Diary Dates for March

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

7th March - Gruyere tasting on the deli.  Whether you love your cheese in a sandwich, melted on a baked potato or in a delicious fondue to dip hunks of bread and salami into gruyere is the cheese for you!

16th-21st Enjoy some of the special offers and tastings all week at our award-winning butchery during National Butcher’s Week.

17th St Patrick’s Day is the perfect opportunity to try out some Irish cheeses such as Cashel Blue, Boille and 5 Mile Town Creamery cheeses.

22nd Treat your Mum to fresh flowers and cook her a delicious meal or perhaps treat her to a hamper brimming with her favourite delights, either way GFS can play it’s part in helping your Mum to feel super special.

Gonalston Farm Shop 4th Birthday

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

To celebrate our 4th Birthday, we would like to invite you to our Farmshop Family Extravaganza on Sunday 12th August between 10am and 4pm.

We were hoping to have pens of friendly farm animals at the shop but, unfortunately due to the recent outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in the South East this will no longer be possible.  However there will still be lots going on!

We will have a bouncy castle, a model cow that you can actually milk(!), Vera Oxby and some of her Prize Winning chickens and our trusted friend Barney the Bull here all day.

We will be running a competition for the Under 12’s to make an animal from vegetables… the only rule is that no plastic pieces are allowed to be used (cocktail sticks and straws are OK!). All entries are to be in the shop by 1pm on the day for judging. We are really looking forward to seeing what budding sculptors we have amongst our younger customers.

Lurgershall Winery, Mr Pitchforks Pickles, The Cookie Stop, Premier Cheese and Thaymar Ice Cream, will be offering scrumptious morsels to taste and, of course, our own Award Winning sausages and beef burgers will be available.

We look forward to welcoming you on the day for fun, games and many delicious treats!
