Check Availability and Book Accommodation

We sell our own seasonal fruit and vegetables first (apart from main-crop potatoes and carrots which we always buy in – we don’t have enough space to grow them on a field scale) and then, if we’re short of something we’ll buy it in from other, local, organic growers and together this covers about 90% of our sales. Third choice is to bring in produce from other parts of the UK and lastly we will import through a local organic wholesaler.  Fruit is an issue – we sell our own raspberries, strawberries, cooking and eating apples and grapes but we’re not big producers so, later in the season, we bring in fruit – apples from Hereford and kiwis, oranges, lemons, bananas etc from overseas (always organic and wherever possible Fair Trade) so as to offer more variety to our customers.

We sell in two ways and we deliver free of charge in the local area:

• Firstly a weekly Box Scheme – standard Boxes cost from £7.50 with fruit additional but customers can choose (within reason!) what they want to spend.  The Boxes are customised to the extent that customers can tell us their likes and dislikes and the sort of quantities that are useful to them and we try to do the rest! Box customers, because we can choose what to give them, receive a discount.
• The “Weekly List” – we decide each week what we’re likely to have on sale the following weekend and send a list out, usually by e-mail, for people to order .

Eggs, Lamb, Pork and Geese

 All our own produce with space to roam and a fully organic diet.  The animals are butchered locally and frozen (availability depends on how quickly the little loves grow) and eggs are available all year round (although they do tend to cross their legs in December/January!)

Beef and Table Chickens

 We’ve gone into partnership with other producers (vegetable customers of ours) to offer a wider range of produce to our customers – beef, table chickens and so on. Like ours, this is all delicious organic and local meat.

 Customer contact

 Personal contact with our customers is very important to us.  If you are having a weekly order delivered with no other contact it might just have come from Tescos, although you do have the satisfaction of knowing that most of your produce is local and that you are supporting local farmers (things that people tell us are important to them and that we appreciate very much). We love to meet customers on our delivery rounds and are delighted when they visit us on the farm – bringing their children to see the lambs, pigs, hens and so on.  Sometimes neither are possible and so we try to connect with a bi-monthly Newsletter.
