Another excellent Gourmet evening was held during July 2o10 at Farmer Copleys Farm Shop in Pontefract West Yorkshire.

Around 50 guests enjoyed a three course meal, along with   good wine.

The sweet was strawberries, fresh cream and shortbread. However, the difference was that the guests has to construct it themselves following directions from the chef!  Guests are sworn to secrecy, but I gather than  shortbread  wasnt he only surface that was covered in cream!

The video below  gives a brief insight into the evening. Watch out for the next Gourmet Evening so you can book your places.

As many of you will know, it was Yorkshire Day on Sunday 1 August and we decided to celebrate!  To mark the occasion we will be offering a selection of new limited edition Yorkshire Pudding starters that will get your taste buds buzzing.

It’s all part of a wider initiative launched by Womersley fruit and herb vinegars, a supplier to Farmer Copleys Farm Shop, to get people to think about being more creative with Yorkshire Puddings.

It’s a good idea and we hope that visitors to the Moo Cafe will be inspired by our suggestions. Better still we want you to have a go at putting your own thoughts forward .

All you have to do is post them on our blog below – we would love to see just how inventive our visitors can be.

Happy Yorkshire Day everyone!

For those of you who have come into Farmer Copleys recently you may have noticed we have a new addition to our team – well, a new juicing machine to be precise.

Although we have yet to name our new addition, it is proving very popular with Mum’s, Dad’s and children alike. You even get the chance to feed the fresh oranges (sourced from Spain) into the machine yourself, so you can see that absolutely nothing but orange juice comes out.  There are no additives or colourings what-so-ever.

One hundred percent, fresh, tasty orange juice that’s yummy and perfect for a hot summer’s day!

Well, despite all the talk of hard times, business is booming here at Farmer Copleys and as a result we are on the look out for two new recruits.

Sticking with a style that works, we have chosen to hold our second open event on Friday 23 July from 10am – 1pm at Pontefract Town Hall. We are inviting anyone who feels that they have what it takes to work in a busy retail role to come along and let us know.

Each person who takes the time to visit will be given an initial meeting and then those we feel have the right attitude, personality and ‘get up and go’ for the job will be asked back for an official interview later in the day.

We have two new positions in retail; one for the shop and another for the butchery department. No prior experience is needed, just enthusiasm and commitment.

So come on. Let your friends and family know. Farmer Copleys is recruiting and you could be just what we are looking for.
