Did you know we have a lovely woodland walk here at the farm?

Listen to the birdsong, spot seasonal changes in the trees and enjoy a gentle wander before or after visiting the Farm Shop.

A little reminder that sometimes the simplest pleasures are right on your doorstep.

A little gem of the season 🌱

Our homegrown gem squash is now available in the Farm Shop. With its naturally sweet, delicate flavour, it makes a quick and comforting lunch, side dish or light supper.

For a simple serving idea, cut it in half, place cut-side down on a plate and microwave for 8–10 minutes. Scoop out the seeds, then fill with your favourite topping – or simply add a k**b of butter. Yum!
