"The Apprentice"
Downsview Farm was recently used as a filming venue for one of the contestant tasks featured in the current series of the popular BBC TV show “The Apprentice”.
The contestants had to come up with two novel ice cream flavours and then sell it to outlets in London. Under the watchful eye of Sarah, “Avocado & Chilli” and “Toffee Apple” flavours were created. An order for the “Toffee Apple” was placed by a Central London cinema chain and was duly fulfilled by Downsview Farm.
After some attention from the local media, we have decided to keep the “Toffee Apple” flavour on our regular list. All-in-all, it was an experience that we all enjoyed!

Fresh Local Milk is Best!
It is only six months since we introduced our "Downsview" branded fresh milk range. Since then, we have been delighted with the very positive response, and have had to upgrade our production equipment to cope with demand.
Clearly, people want fresh milk that is produced, packaged and sold locally!
Current activities at Downsview Farm
The new cow accommodation is nearing completion at the Downsview Farm site. We have put a great deal of effort into designing the buildings that will house the herd. When complete, this will help us further improve the management and welfare of the herd.
