A FLOOKBURGH business man’s accomplishments have caught the eye of Channel 5 for their upcoming series of ‘This Week on the Farm’.
The Wraysholme Creamery owned and operated by Paul Morris and his father Steve was set up in December 2020 and has already been noticed by the program for its work.
Despite only being in operation for six weeks, Paul has been flooded with positive feedback by his customers.
On January 22, a film crew and a producer from Channel 5 were invited to the property at Wraysholme Tower Farm in Flookburgh to learn about its operation.
Hosted by Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson, This Week on the Farm captures the methods and secrets of Britain’s farming life.
Paul Morris, the owner, also works as a host on Lake District Radio.
He said: “We launched in the middle of December so we’re only a young business, but we’ve seen a successful six weeks since.
“I feel we’ve done very well since opening.
“We have got folks asking about what we are producing, and we’ve been able to sell almost all of our ice cream in February, which has got to be a good thing.
“We started making butter, and soon will be able to branch out in yoghurt.
“I saw a post on Facebook asking what kind of new or diverse services were being set up in Cumbria so I sent them a message explaining how we make our own products, one thing led to another and they asked if they could come out and visit us to see what we did.
“A producer came out to see us. They said they really liked what they saw and would put it to their directors to see if they’d like us to be on the show.
“They got in touch later and told us it would likely be late March when the episode is aired but they are interested in trying our butter live on air."
The creamery is currently supplying businesses such as A Day's Walk Lakeland cafe, Thyme Out Coffee House and the Flookburgh and Cartmel Premier shops.
