Chapel Farm is delighted to welcome Willy Spacey to the Team of Stockists. As usual we asked Willy what prompted him to become part of the team and he gives his reply below.

“Based in Perthshire I have had Gundogs for many years. My wife Kathy exhibits Greyhounds and has made up two Show Champions. Our dogs are all fed and conditioned on Chapel Farm Dog Food. Having done research on the many complete dog foods on the market I came to the conclusion that Chapel Farm would meet my requirements. I am delighted with the condition of our dogs and can highly recommend Chapel Farm.

I currently stock Original 20, Performance 24 and Performance 24+ and can supply Puppy/Junior on request. Delivery available to Perth and surrounding area.

For more information contact Willy on 07881 101714 or email wspacey@hotmail.co.uk”

Thanks to Willy for the above and for the photo of his dogs.

We have experienced three major price increases in the last seven months. It would be easy to blame Covid and Brexit and while these have had an effect there are also additional Manufacturing and Transport costs.

To maintain the quality of Chapel Farm products we have no option but to increase prices across the range which will come into effect on the 1^st of January 2022. We will continue to offer free delivery to most destinations on orders of two or more bags and hope you will agree that Chapel Farm continues to offer excellent value for money.

As a thank you to all staff for the efforts made during the pandemic the Mill, Office and Dispatch Warehouse will close at mid-day on the 23^rd of December and all orders placed after noon on the 23^rd will be processed when we return on the 5^th of January.

For those who obtain Chapel Farm from a stockist we would suggest you give them a call to find out their plans as possibly some may not always be available over the holiday period.

For clients who order via the Chapel Farm website or by phone, due to the seasonal rush and extra pressure on delivery companies as we approach Christmas, deliveries may take a little longer than usual and as such we would advise ordering as early as possible and before the 16^th December to give a good chance of delivery before Christmas

On behalf of David Lisett and the Buccleuch Gundogs Chapel Farm Team, we thank you for your support and would like to take this opportunity to offer our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New-Year.
