Another really pleasing feature – this time in The Melton Times, one of our local newspapers, so especially relevant! Many thanks to the paper’s food expert, Rachel, who selected Heart of Gold for her first column of 2012!

Happy New Year! I’m full of resolutions, some more easily achievable than others, of course, but I am definitely resolved to ‘blog’ more regularly as there’s always a lot to impart; it’s just a question of discipline!
Heart of Gold got off to a great start in 2012, with a feature in Handmade Living February (link below)
We are thrilled with the coverage and feel it bodes well for a busy year ahead…
It’s getting very near to Christmas now and, of course, there still seems to be masses to be done! As well as all the regular farm duties, we’re frantically getting out those last minute oil orders too, often delivering them, just like Santa Claus, in person!
But soon it will be time to simply batten down the hatches and relax with the family, which I hope you will all be doing with equal relish! It will be 2012 before we know it – and the oil presses will, I can assure you, be going again at full speed!
Meanwhile, here’s a lovely mention about Heart of Gold in the Culinary Guide, which really thrilled us! It’s such a generous write up and one we will be quoting on many occasions in the future!
We had a great day at Betty’s Farm Shop http://www.bettysfarm.co.uk/ on Saturday! It was a gloriously sunny day, so perfect for a spot of festive shopping (not to mention the weekly eggs and veg shopping!) – we had a really good position in the heart of the farm shop, amongst all the delicious fresh produce, condiments, oils and all manner of delicious-looking provisions.
We sold a gratifying number of bottles of Heart of Gold, mainly to new customers, or to people who had heard of rapeseed oil but weren’t aware of its many health benefits or its delicious taste – so hopefully we’ve made a few converts! Several people commented on the nutty tang to the oil, and they seemed rather partial to it baked in banana bread as well!
Many thanks to Emma and her team for inviting us, and for making it such an enjoyable and worthwhile day!
It seems our Heart of Gold Xmas Cake Cupcakes have really caught the imagination!
They have received a fantastic amount of press interest over the last few weeks, and been written about on a number of blogs. We’ve listed a few of the links below so you can read for yourselves – and to everyone who has blogged about the cupcakes, many thanks indeed – we are really pleased and incredibly appreciative.
