Farm Shop Celebrates Customer’s 100th Birthday

Grace, who lives at The Leylands Estate, Broadway in Derby, visits Croots near Duffield most weeks.

And when her latest visit coincided with her 100th birthday, staff popped up with a surprise birthday cake, flowers and bottle of bubbly to mark the special occasion.

“Grace has been coming to us since day one when we opened in 2008, and visits virtually every week,” said Steve Croot, who runs Croots Farm Shop in Wirksworth Road.

“She comes in with her carer for something to eat in our coffee shop and then has a browse and buys a few bits.

“She’s marvellous and we love to see her. We were really pleased to hear that she was coming in on such a special day.”
