In the latest and final instalment of Fletcher's Family Farm, broadcasting on Sunday, Kelvin Fletcher revealed his aspirations for what lies ahead and his ambitions to eventually produce Fletcher's oats. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Kelvin Fletcher described getting ready for their first event of the year, a farmers' market, across the fields and forests of their farm with a new season on the horizon. He noted they have invited some local producers to come and sell their wares alongside them in the barn, and for once, they are ready to go, which gives him time to crack on with other jobs around the farm before they open their gates tomorrow.
Kelvin Fletcher recently stated he had no regrets despite being unable to create edible oats for commercial sale. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Kelvin Fletcher described their spring oats as falling short of the porridge standard but suitable for animal feed, calling it still a success. He explained they were hoping for porridge, but a lack of rain this summer meant their first crop did not plump up enough before harvest, so animal feed it is. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Kelvin Fletcher described feeling quite a proud moment that their little farm has somewhat kind of gone into the supply chain to produce something for many other farms.
Across the fields and forests of our farm, and with a new season on the horizon, we're getting ready for our first event of the year, a farmers' market.
According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Kelvin Fletcher described taking delivery of some special homegrown feed that will give their livestock a protein boost. He noted somewhere in the bag of oats are oats from their farm, and farms locally and maybe around the country, and they have all played a part in producing this, so there will be other farms with this feed that have got a bit of their oats in. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Kelvin Fletcher described appearing delighted as his cattle got stuck into the feed, remarking five-star review from Ray and Crowther. Contemplating what lies ahead and his next venture, the father of four declared that is not the end of oats, it is just the beginning, it might be the end of that particular chapter, but oats are still yet to be conquered, and they are there for the taking.
We've invited some local producers to come and sell their wares alongside us in the barn, and for once, we're ready to go, which gives me time to crack on with other jobs around the farm before we open our gates tomorrow.
Today, I'm taking delivery of some special homegrown feed that will give our livestock a protein boost.
Somewhere in there are oats from our farm, and farms locally and maybe around the country. But we've all played a part in producing this, so there'll be other farms with this feed that have got a bit of our oats in.
So yeah, still a success.
We were hoping for porridge, but a lack of rain this summer meant our first crop didn't plump up enough before harvest. So animal feed, it is.
It feels quite a proud moment that our little farm has somewhat kind of gone into the supply chain to produce something for many other farms.
It's these little moments that you can't even imagine or picture when you first start out. I'd never have thought that we'd be going into the food chain, the supply chain. I didn't know what to expect.
Five-star review from Ray and Crowther.
That's not the end of oats. It's just the beginning. It might be the end of that particular chapter. But oats are still yet to be conquered, and they're there for the taking.
