MEET THE TEAM 02 LOCKDOWN ON CASTLEMEAD FARM 04 WELCOME SLOW-GROWN CHRISTMAS BIRDS 08 TURKEY RECIPE 10 It’s very hard to summarise the last 12 months at field&flower. SOUS VIDE 11 As you can imagine, we have a risk document to help us think about the challenges we GRASS-FED CHRISTMAS BEEF 12 might encounter as a small business. You won’t be surprised to hear that a global pandemic wasn’t listed in that document. The biggest risk we’d ever unaccounted for was a few years CHRISTMAS TRIMMINGS 13 ago when a fox helped himself to several hundred turkeys. How times change. CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST 14

The last 6 months have seen the business deal with significant changes and challenges. SALMON RECIPE 16 We have been fortunate enough to keep our doors open so that we can support you, our customers, and we’re proud of the way our team has adapted to deal with a very different BOXING DAY 18 field&flower. The small team we had in March has grown significantly and they have worked OUR FARMER SIMON PRICE 20 day and night to keep our service running smoothly – for which we are exceptionally grateful. FREE-RANGE CHRISTMAS 22 We would like to give a special word of thanks to Liz, our Operations Office Manager. Liz managed the process of keeping everyone safe in our operations base, strategically FARESHARE SOUTHWEST 24 planning shifts and creating work bubbles to ensure the team could continue with their jobs CHRISTMAS SET BOXES & HAMPERS 26 in a safe and efficient way. This is no mean feat at the best of times, so in Covid times (with night shifts, new team members and an influx of orders) it was, quite simply, a heroic effort. FUN FOR THE LITTLE ONES 28

During lockdown we set up an NHS initiative that is still running today, prioritising customers CHRISTMAS FAQS 29 working in the national health service. We also increased our support for FareShare South West, who we’ve been working with for the past two years, donating 200,000 meals to date. You can help us to continue supporting them with their FoodStock 2020 campaign this Christmas (see page 25).

Of course, with hospitality closing we also began supporting our free-range farmers by utilising stock that was going to be wasted. Our farmers are the hidden heroes in this pandemic in our opinion, and it saddens us to know they have been undermined by the recent Agricultural Bill, despite their stoicism throughout lockdown. You can read more about Stu, our poultry farmer, and the challenges he continues to face on page 5.

We have been planning Christmas since July and we are really looking forward to delivering those turkeys and getting some rest! Thank you for your kind words, patience and custom over the last 12 months, everyone at field&flower really appreciates it.

Here’s to 2021.

Stu’s turkeys, chickens and geese roam and forage freely, darting between hedgerows, catching grubs, and sheltering under natural cover that Stu has planted for them. Slowly grown in the Somerset countryside, because quality flavour can’t be rushed.
