As with all matters of health and safety, inspectors must arrive without an appointment, totally unannounced and as a full surprise. Today was our turn, and it is always a scary moment, as although we know we are fully compliant with all high standards, there is often the concern that we might have overlooked something, forgotten to tick a box or two on our long list of daily checks, or the chiller temperature might not be quite as it should be or even the dread of an out of date item lingering at the back of the shelves, or heaven forbid a mouldy turnip.
So as our lovely inspector walked in he must have heard the sharp intake of breath and the sound of someone scurrying out the back to check all was well with our packing area. He smiled politely and walked around the shop, doing what he must do, inspect, check, look, prod and rummage through our displays of vegetables, flour, teas, pasta and our milk, butter, yoghurt's and cheeses, and we are were delighted, thrilled and relieved that as one would expect we received the thumbs up!!
We are as we should be, and organic farm shop with a little bit of healthy mud and lots of glorious vegetables all gleaming and shining ready for you to eat.
