The Full Fordhall Range Of Dairy Produce

Other new products in the Fordhall range by 1965 were a fresh salad cream and an unusual healthy drink made from yoghourt whey, honey and fresh lemons. The salad cream was made from Jersey cream, live yoghourt, olive oil, Champagne vinegar, fresh horseradish, mead and eggs. The ingredients recommend it and the result was a creamy and delicious dressing - a first class partner for the farmhouse salad, or more exotic bases.

Fordhall's historic range of dairy products

Whey is the clear liquid which separates from the solids of yoghourt, and it has many tonic attributes as a skin treatment and taken internally. Combined with yoghourt and honey it is said to make a delicious drink, and Fordhall advised that it should be served chilled. In addition to the standard range of Jersey creams- clotted, double, whipping, single and whipped cream- there was soured cream suitable for use in many continental dishes, including variations of herring salad. This ‘Smetana’ is Jersey cream soured with yoghourt culture. It could also be sweetened and served with any fruit.

Things to do during your stay

Explore

You will be left to your own devices during your stay, and are free to explore our picturesque organic farm. We have farm trails weaving around the farm, which will take you around our pastures, woodland and along the river. Why not say hello to some of our friendly animals as you explore?

‍

Our organic Farm Shop is a short walk away, where you can purchase delicious local produce to prepare in the yurts. We can also provide you with a hamper of your favourite goodies to make your stay stress- and decision-free – just let us know when you book.

‍

Our yurts are designed to help you reconnect with nature, your loved ones and yourself. They are well and truly off-grid. For this reason we have no Wi-Fi facilities at the yurts. There are electricity sockets available for use at the farm in the main building, but with the Shropshire Hills as your playground, this is the perfect place to switch off!

‍

The nature of our yurts and surroundings lends itself perfectly to families that home educate; there are so many new experiences you can enjoy with your children whilst they learn about the natural world first hand.
