Honeybuns are back on the road with the gorgeous Graham from the
bakery visiting retailers in the South West and London
from January through to the Sprrrring.
Graham is a fully fledged Honeybuns baker so his product knowledge
is second to none. He is fully trained in dealing with the Great British
Public so if you are a retailer in the
South West or London please give us a call and we will see if Graham
can visit you and provide an instore tasting for you. Customers love
being able to sample the range and chat
to somebody who actually makes the cakes. Everyone's a winner!
If your
business is located up country please do call and we can happily
send you a lovely in store DIY tasting pack with sampling stock and
point of sale materials. Please do remember that our supa dupa
retro tins are free to existing retail customers to use as point
of sale displays. Please call us and we'll be happy to help.

COMING SOON...
Cookies in faaaabulous flavours
We're busying away in the Bee Shack Development Kitchen on our
brand new range of cookies. We love a challenge so rather than
just the same-old same-old
cookie we're pushing the boundaries again.... These precious little
beauties will be free of added sugar and gluten. They will taste
heavenly and naughty but won't
give you that sky sugar high rush 'n' dump.
The flavours are: Triple
Chocolate Tinkers, Cranberry, Pecan and Orange, and our very own
Dorset Apple Cake
Cookies made with Somerset Cider Brandy (well it's still the West
Country), plumptious raisins and.... apples! We're officially launching
them
at Caffee Culture in May but we'll quietly unleash them onto the
market before then. If you'd like samples to nibble please call
us.
You may have to wait a bit but as soon as we're happy with them
we'll gladly send our customers a couple.

We're delighted to be working with the most gorgeous Filberts
Bees of Muckleford, Dorset.Philada and her son Mark are bee farmers
and make the most magical lip
balms and hand salves. The wonderful"Raw Summer Honey" is
also one of their creations. Mark is expert in perfumes and
flavours and he is developing our very own Honeybuns Snowy Hills
flavour lip balm! We'll all be able to enjoy
Honeybuns cakes without a trace of guilt. Available soon online.
To check out Filberts Bees please see
www.filbertsbees.co.uk. Honeybuns and Filberts share a love of
the Dorset countryside and creatures great and small. |

Graham is multitalented.
As well as doing our
roadshow tastings and baking cakes he is also an
expert bird watcher...of the feathered kind. Graham
has volunteered for the RSPB and he now conducts
monthly bird surveys here at Naish Farm.
We have lots of feeders around the farm buildings
which we fill with reject nuts from the bakery.
We think the all day birdy buffet has helped to
attract lots more feathered visitors.
Graham spots on average 24 species a month!
We manage the 5 glorious acres around our bakery
as a nature reserve. Head of our pasture
management plan is Joaney. She and her pals, Tash
and Meg, ensure that the sward or grass tufts are
kept short and perky. |

Molly
is our newly acquired "Mad as a March hare" Mare.
We love her dearly but boy is she a head case! Em
is gently reschooling her in an attempt to get to the bottom
of her
psychological issues. Our theory is that she has been worked
at quite an intense
pace - probably jumping and this has messed with her head somewhat.
|
| With lots of cuddles, gentle hacks out
in to the countryside and a bit of schooling, she is coming on
really well. She no longer trembles when you put her saddle on
and the spring is MOST definitely back in her hooves. We'll keep
you posted. Molly is staying just down the road at the moment.
When she comes back to Naish Farm you'll be able to watch her on
the improved Joaney Cam, www.honeybuns.co.uk/joaneycam |
