The annual stripping of the bird. Not only did this 4.8kg🦃feed 9, but we have a dinner plate piled high for the freezer plus a plate of scraps for the dog too. It always amazes me the quantity of meat on the bird other than the breast meat. #foodwaste #Foodie #turkey #leftovers
@WatergateFarm All prepped last night with 3 types of stuffing (mushroom stuffing, sage and onion & sausage meat). It’s about to go in the oven & ready for eating at 1pm. Merry Christmas 🎄 🦃

@HeadysFarm @WatergateFarm Always said, the initial price of a Turkey is expensive but when you realise the meals who can get out of one it’s really not that expensive
The annual stripping of the bird. Not only did this 4.8kg🦃feed 9, but we have a dinner plate piled high for the freezer plus a plate of scraps for the dog too. It always amazes me the quantity of meat on the bird other than the breast meat. #foodwaste #Foodie #turkey #leftovers

The turkey has landed! Thanks to @WatergateFarm and their most excellent drive through collection; I can look forward to filling my self with a delicious Turkey, that has had a great life and been sustainably produced from a wonderful local family 🦃 #BackBritishFarming
Thank you to Watergate Farm for hosting a very interesting presentation on Turkey Farming for @Woburn_YFC this evening. We all learned a lot, it is clear to see these Turkeys are very well cared for 🦃🦃 #BuyMyTurkey #buylocal
Isn’t it nice to have some sunshine? Our turkeys certainly think so! ☀️🦃☀️🦃☀️
Some of the region's turkey farmers are predicting a bumper Christmas as the 'rule of six' pushes up demand... and the number of dinners! @RobSetchell has been to @TradNfkPoultry & @ElodieITV spoke to @WatergateFarm. Watch their reports here 👇 itv.com/news/anglia/20…
Not a productive afternoon, but glad to see the back of this fly-tipping. In the process I came across both Mr and Mrs payslips including NI numbers and a bank statement.🤞for a conviction. @BucksFlyTipping #farmlife @FarmersWeekly
Dominic Lawson’s again waded in on the issue of trade policy, food and standards of production. Difficult to discern the thrust of his argument, but I think it is “a US trade deal is such an unarguable good, we should seek one at all costs, and don’t worry about the content”. /1
Ouch..Dominic Lawson piling into the @NFUtweets @Simon4NDorset & @NSoames in @thesundaytimes Ever the economist Mr Lawson hasn’t grasped @neil_parish amendment was also to preserve public goods; natural capital, habitats, rural communities and landscapes. Not just about trade!
I am so proud to be part of the farming #community! Today I broke down a fair distance away. I walked down to the first farm I could find, looking for an 8mm🔧. I was greeted with a smile, he chucked me his truck keys and sent me off with his tool box! #legend #farmers #farmlife

Just been stripping my bird....🦃😉. If you are willing to get stuck in there is sooo much meat all over the turkey, not just breast meat. Plenty for us, plenty of scraps, skin & fat for the dog, and not much for the green waste. #turkey, #Leftovers #christmas #food #foodie
Looking forward to this @WatergateFarm
The @NFUtweets turkey finder - bit.ly/385rLzs - makes it easy to order your farm fresh turkey for Christmas, says our regional poultry expert @johnnewton1111. @WatergateFarm in Bedfordshire is one of the farms supporting the #BuyMyTurkey campaign today.
