Family Engagement

Engaging with Place

With strawberry season just around the corner we decided to make a delicious and easy strawberry ice cream for everyone to enjoy. We had to purchase the strawberries as we had nowhere near enough growing at the farm for this recipe. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as the children enjoyed it.

Please note: for the children that are vegan, lactose intolerant or allergies we made a very easy sorbet recipe for them to try. 

Erin and I would like to wish all of our families a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you all next year with some exciting new things and projects planned for our farm. 

Thankyou

Erin and Eileen
