Stunning Snowdrops

It’s that time of the year again - our Snowdrops are out covered with a delicate dusting of snow- a sign that despite their frosting Spring is on its way.

The Peak District offers some wonderful places to see Snowdrops in full bloom - wander up the valley at Milldale near Alstonefield which is carpeted with them. Rhode Hall Gardens, near Scholar Green and Hopton Hall near Carsington are open to the public throughout February and also offer refreshments to warm you after your winter walk.

Environmentally Friendly Accommodation

Exciting news !

One of our members, Beechenhill Farm, has been shortlisted for the Sentinel Environmental Business Awards!

These prestigious awards are seeking “Companies that have introduced environmental improvements which are enhancing the quality of life within North Staffordshire.” Beechenhill Farm has done extremely well to be shortlisted and is up against a large business and a multinational company! We all wish them luck in the finals.

A number of our Peak District Farm Holiday members are also committed to sustainable business practices and conserving the beautiful Peak District environment in which we live and work, and have been awarded either the Peak District or the Staffordshire Environmental Quality Mark. Look out for the award logos on the farm website entries - you can be sure of a quality eco holiday with us.

Meanwhile on the farm, the snow hit a few days ago, melted a little and has now frozen solid. We are expecting more this evening!

The chickens have been pottering about in the snow but seem to have been a little discombobulated by it and keep gathering in snow free patches – we assume to chat about the weather!

The snow will shortly disappear giving way to warmer weather - why not book a holiday with us and enjoy the Peak District countryside in all it's summer glory. Our free range hens will be back in full egg production by then so you can enjoy a tasty breakfast.
