The Farmers Mart Oct/Nov 2013 - Issue 30 | Page 51

DARLINGTON FARMERS AUCTION MART be fooled by Emma’s youth: at just 20, she conducts herself and the sales as if she was twice that and more - which is testament to her commitment, hard work and the excellent training Darlington have provided. She is already a seasoned professional. Andrew made the point that one of the important keys to a good auction is speed – and I can vouch for that: between Andrew and Emma I witnessed the quickest sale at 18 seconds to the longest at 33! Amazingly, this included Andrew barking timely words of warning as the odd disgruntled suckler charged forth from the clanging gates! All in a day’s work….But now I know what people mean when describing noisy places as being ‘like a Cattle Mart in here’! Dear to many a hard-working farmer’s heart is his stomach. The Café at Darlington is run by Davina Lovegreen and her team who use all home grown vegetables and meats reared on their own farm to ensure all customers can tuck into great quality food. Davina also does first class function catering and can also supply an outdoor catering truck for agricultural open days.
