A Day In The Life of..............

Rebecca Rayner - Glebe Farm

I can’t function without a good breakfast so I am currently taste tasting the new gluten free oat muesli. I am ensuring that it is packed with fruit and there is good balance of dates, apricots, coconut and seeds.

During breakfast I plan my day and my diary highlights any meetings. At 7.30 am the first task is to brave the weather and see the farm staff and discuss their tasks for the day.

A little later I welcome the office staff and today we are going to be some test baking – a flour mix to create some delicious gluten free rolls for our Food for Life Partnership schools.

John from the RSPB is coming out after lunch to do his quarterly bird survey.

Tomorrow Jacky, our Food Demonstrator, is going to a Coeliac Group AGM so in the afternoon cakes are being whisked up. The mouth-watering smell of fresh gluten free bread is wafting from the bread machine around the kitchen and office.

I am giving a talk to a local WI group this evening about our bread and cake mixes so just making some gluten free cranberry and blueberry muffins to take for them to taste.

Amongst this, I am visiting the printers to look at the first print run of some of our new ranges, including a Gluten Free Cranberry and Muffin mix. Also, althought not gluten free, we have just release a premium Spelt Beer called Gladiator. So far, it is proving a great success.
