Charlotte Gurney takes to the mic when BBC Radio Norfolk came and set up their equipment between the raspberry canes, recently
LAST MONTH we had a surprise visit from BBC Radio Norfolk who came to White House Farm to hold their midweek show live from the raspberry canes, interviewing the full team, from the farmer to Anya, the resident baker.
We talked all things juicy; strawberries, Brexit and what the customers really think good value is! As you can imagine, this caused much nervous excitement as the team polished the shop and café, smoothed the creases out of their red aprons and honed their radio voices! Thordis, Edd and Anna mapped the farm, tested their radio car for signal in the various strawberry fields and raced around in between a few farming related tunes, capturing the colour and vibrancy of the farm. They asked about growing techniques, interviewed Tom, the fruit apprentice and shared the art of butchery live from the butcher’s counter. There were even a few impromptu shrieks and frantic cable cleaning as mincemeat and BBC equipment got entangled during the sausage making demo! They really brought the farm to the airwaves in the most remarkable and engaging way, no script, just informal chatter with employees and customers alike that gave listeners a true feel of character of the place.
I was enormously proud of the staff as they spoke quite naturally of their individual and varied roles, all of which keep the WHF ship sailing. One customer interviewed has been coming to the farm for 30 years and has watched us through all our changes. It was wonderful hearing first hand how valued White House Farm shop and Butchery is amongst the community and how the farm diversification is appreciated – we all know change takes a bit of getting used to.
In essence, I was in awe of the professional, BBC trio as they came into our business, analysed it, portrayed it an honest, creative light and then vanished like wizards into smoke. There was nowhere to hide, no chance for a retake and the team coped admirably given it was no normal day at the office. It also reminded me just how brilliant the BBC are for getting out there into local, independent businesses and highlighting how hard us Norfolk folk work to make it a jolly nice place to live. If you get the chance, listen again on the BBC iPlayer and enjoy the show until August 10!
