The building of the cafe has now stopped for the summer holidays, and the fencing has been taken down from the middle of the farm yard.
So far the contractors have dug the foundations of the cafe and training facility, filled them with concrete and started to build the base of the walls from breeze blocks.

Apart from a very large delivery sometime next month, the Farm will (almost) be back to normal for the duration of the holidays. Once September is here, the contractors will be back and the building will be in full swing again with a likely finish date of early January 2015.
