Grounded #1: a day that started in the field and ended at the table.
In September we took a group up to Strickley Farm, just outside Kendal, where the Robinsons have farmed since 1875. James showed us round the farm and the dairy, and the hedgerows, ponds and wildflower margins that make Strickley as well known for nature as it is for milk.
Lunch was by the lake, made with Strickley’s own produce. Then back to Three Hares for dinner with James and the family, served family style alongside a few other local producers we love.
Thank you to the Robinsons for opening up the farm, to Nina for the cooking, to Gail Caddy for the photos, and to everyone who came.
This was the first of what we hope becomes a little festival of food and farming.
DM us if you want to hear about the next one first.
