All you have to do is quote 'social offer' at the till to receive this. 💚 FEB FACT⚡️ So the science behind the leap day is to help keep us in sync with the seasons.

GRANNY BRAND'S PANCAKES - FOR SHROVE TUESDAY! 💚 We wanted to share Granny Brand's trusted recipe with you. We hope you'll enjoy making these with your families! This will make 4-6 pancakes (so you might need to double it ;)) Ingredients 100g Plain Flour Pinch of salt 1 egg lightly beaten 300ml milk Oil for frying Method: Sift flour & salt into bowl. Add egg & half the milk, beating well to make a smooth batter. Beat in the remaining milk. Heat a little oil in a small frying pan. Pour in a little batter, tilting the pan so batter covers the base, cook until the underside is golden. 🥞 FLIP & cook the otherside, then remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. I like with lemon juice & sugar or maple syrup. You could also whip cream and top with some cooked bananas in butter, and lemon juice OR for a savoury version some streaky bacon? 🥓 . . . . . . #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #brandslarder #eastfortune #hampshiredown #lamb #visitscotland #LoveScotland #Scotspirit #seasonalproduce #northberwick #eastlothian #fooddelivery #cooking #edinburgh #chefs #meat #farmtotable #eatlocal #healthy #countryliving #sustainability #farmersmarket #countryside #shrovetuesday #pancakes #inspiration #recipe #lent #pancaketuesday

PATIENCE, TEAM WORK, GRATITUDE We are lucky to be able to work together as a family, supporting each other as we grow our business. We try to include the boys in the decisions we make as they're so passionate about our livestock and East Fortune Farm in general. It's exciting to think that the 5th generation are offering so much already but we also need to ensure that they have time to be children and be carefree and happy and just take in the moment. 💚 Here's a picture of Ritchie just hanging out on the bales after helping Grant bed up the weaner kennels at the weekend 🐖 . . . . . . #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #brandslarder #northberwick #eastlothian #eastfortune #hampshiredown #lamb #visitscotland #LoveScotland #Scotspirit #seasonalproduce #cooking #edinburgh #chefs #meat #love #happy #fun #instagood #kids #life #children #smile #lifestyle #parenting #familytime #home

GRANDPA BRAND - KEEPING UP! Some things never change here at East Fortune Farm and this is one of them - Grandpa Brand sitting down with his @scottishfarmernewspaper to catch up on the latest news and views across the farming community. Note his whisky (and the crisps!) beside him.. 🥃 We all love hearing what's going on across the farming community throughout Scotland and can't imagine not getting our weekly update from The Scottish Farmer! . . . . . #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #brandslarder #eastfortune #hampshiredown #lamb #visitscotland #LoveScotland #Scotspirit #seasonalproduce #cooking #edinburgh #chefs #meat #scottishfarming #farm #agriculture #farmlife #farmtotable #eatlocal #instagood #lovescotland #whisky

⠀ NEW PRODUCTS IN THE FARM SHOP ⚡️🐔 ⠀ Firstly, we're now stocking delicious fresh chickens from @pasturepoultry - a business I discovered because the owner had done a podcast with @nibblescotland - so thank you June at Nibble Scotland for this connection!⠀ 🐔⠀ The chickens are delivered fresh to us each Friday. We asked Katie to tell us a little bit about her new business -I started building the foundations of Pasture Poultry with my main aim to supply a high welfare, locally produced tasty chicken. I successfully attained all of the appropriate qualifications and certificates to humanely process birds on site myself,meaning that the birds do not endure any long stressful journeys to abattoirs. ⠀ 🐔⠀ They are free range corn fed and I get their feed specially made to include no medication so the final product is as genuine as it can be. With my stocking densities being so low I do not require to medicate the flock so it is a win win situation for the customers and chickens! The feed is also formulated to be a slow growing diet which supports healthy bone growth in my birds before they start putting on weight. This all results in a healthy strong chicken which won't go off its feet. All of the birds come to me as chicks and live out a much longer life on the farm compared to commercial chickens-they are just living their best life.⠀ 🐔⠀ Provenance is such a key word for us, now more than ever and knowing where any products are from is hugely important to us. With many people eating less meat, making sure that when you do, you eat the best you can afford is really important. Great to meet you, Katie! ⠀ The boys had some friends round last week and it got big thumbs up from them all! (see pic) ⠀ 💚⠀ After the roast chicken, I made stock with the carcass, then vegetable soup using the chicken stock which the kids took to school in flasks for lunch.⠀ This was definitely a winner winner, chicken dinner here! Jx⠀ ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #brandslarder #eastfortune #hampshiredown #lamb #visitscotland #northberwick #eastlothian #meat #agriculture #farmlife #farm #farmtotable #eatlocal #healthy #countryliving #sustainability #country
