John Lewis Honeybuns minis.
AVAILABLE AT JOHN LEWIS CAFES


We're over the moon that our little minis have now been listed by the John Lewis A Place to Eat Cafes. Please call us for details of your nearest John Lewis Cafe.

You can now feel virtuous and indulge in a mini Honeybuns or be a bit naughty and try 2 different flavours! After a session of thorough retail therapy I find I can easily justify a couple of cheeky minis. At Honeybuns we try really hard to stick to one mini a day .... we usually reach for the second at around 3 pm.

TASTE OF DORSET AWARDS
We were bowled over to be awarded "The most Inspirational Dorset Food Business" at this year's Taste of Dorset Awards. Thank you so much to everybody who nominated us - we had no idea that
we had been shortlisted and it was a genuine and delightful suprise for everyone here at Team Honeybuns. The beautiful, hand painted awards
plate has pride of place in our Bee Shack Cafe. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to our uber talented and professional team.
Taste of Dorset 2008 Honeybns Inspirational Food Business

Charlotte, our very own BeeGreen Crusader, recently appeared in our local Blackmore Vale Magazine.
She was interviewed for the "Eco Watch" pages and Charlotte talked about our future BeeGreen programme for 2009.
Plans are afoot to build a polytunnel to grow butterfly and bumble bee friendly flowers in. We will then be on a mission to plant the plugs out in time for the Spring. Our aim is to increase the numbers of bees back to Naish Farm. We have been encouraged by our local Dorset Beekeeper's
Association and we will be visiting their apiary for tips. We could even start producing our own honey!

We've upped our intake of cod liver oil and invested in some new trainers. Our collection of aching, vintage bones are just about rested enough for another physical onslaught ...hmmm... Honeybuns are supporting The Grizzly in March next year- a gurt, dirty, 20 mile allterrainer in Seaton, Devon. We were just going to hand out cakes at the end, but we now appear to have entered it in a moment of online madness...

Honeybuns Running Team
It sounds incredibly hardcore but fun too: www.axevalleyrunners.org.uk/races/grizzly.htm

Animal Magic
Ben has settled right into life at Naish Farm and regularly runs across country with Honey and Em.

We tried doing a little bit of fostering for Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue. This is a great sounding scheme. be able to offer a safe, secure and loving home for a dog. The timescale is usually 2-4 weeks. The snag in this glorious plan is that we couldn't bear to part with our "foster" dog -
especially when his name is Benjamin and he looks like the above!
If you are interested in providing a foster or permament home then do not hesitate to contact Liz at Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue T: 01963 32279
