Another week of changeable Spring weather but the temperature in the glasshouses stays warm so we have lots of deliciously scented Sweet Peas this week. It may be a month or two till we have our own Worton tomatoes for sale – though our own plants are being planted out at the moment – but, …
So much new season produce from the farm this week! The Spring weather may be slowing growth generally but our experienced team of farmers Made, Arnold, Jairo and Fransisco have worked miracles to bring lots of crops to perfection. Indoor crops ready for harvest this week include the following: Cima de Rape Tai Sai Tatsoi …
The weather may be a little fresher this weekend but it still looks like pleasant spring sunshine in parts. The gardens here at the farm are looking better and better with wonderful apple blossom bursting out all over. We hope many of you will wrap up a little more tightly and still come to eat …
