Open Farm Sunday

   Having completed the 'Open Farm Sunday' outing in howling rain and wind we are now considered hardened outside caterers. Jessica was back again to help and she of course did a sterling job although it was so cold the tractor wheel nuts weren't only on the tractors! The Bogris bunch are made of stern old stuff so with a rod inserted up Edwards backside we carried on and produced some pretty special pizzas..... much to the surprise of everyone there who seemed to think that Eds' hobby wasn't going to feed everyone so had ordered in a Hog Roast as well to cater for the sub 50 people that turned up to the actually quite well organised event. I think the idea was in the competitive spirit of the supermarket supply chain (the Farm are beaten upon regularly) translating that philosophy to their local village open farm style event.    

   Luckily for us it was so cold and miserable that most people ate both things; the pizza most definitely trumped the hog roast people who seemed to be as much in the dark as us about two caterers being arranged. It also helped that Ed had pre-empted a potential wash out and organised pizza tokens with the event oranisers for farm staff who were helping out. Pat on the back for Edward!  

    It's always nice to receive genuine amazement at how good our pizzas are but so far it hasn't yielded repeat customers as we tend to leave the place of retail and never come back. The benefits of a retail shop start to become apparent. Never the less we are going to continue to put out a quality product regardless of the fact that repeat custom is rare in the vain hope that someone will actually want to hire us for an event or see us again. Accountant friends have suggested that we put out the cheapest pizza possible as we are never going to see most customers again; we want to make the world a better place though so twiddles to them! 

   A big thanks to Langmeads for having us at their event and Jessica for being a faith full little helper.
