Exciting times at the farm with lots of new arrivals since my last email. First the Saddleback pigs have been very, very productive, some 30 new piglets out in the fields and looking very healthy. The piglets were, of course, born here and it is a real testament to how Arnald and the team are …
So much wonderful produce fresh from the soil this week. Salads and Herbs in abundance, Baby Carrots and Beetroot, the geometric splendour of Romanesco Caulifowers and the otherworldly, space-ship like Kohl Rabi plus many, many other vegetables. On the sweet side, we have sadly finished picking Rhubarb for another year but are delighted to replace …
Second … or is it third helpings of Gastrophysics as Professor Charles Spence returns to the farm to talk about his favourite subject and to enlighten us as to how our senses work .. at least in relation to food!

The beauty keeps on coming… lots more flowers in the garden, the shop and, as above, decorating the tables in the restaurant! Not only flowers of course, the whole farm is springing to life and, for the first time this year the question in the kitchen has not been “How do we find enough of …
So many beautiful flowers this week. We have a glorious selection of tulips from the glasshouses together, increasingly, with flowers from the cutting garden. Tulips, Anemones, Narcissi and Ranunculus – a full selection of our spring flowers – all available to buy online or in the shop. On the food side we have at last …
It may have been a particularly long wait this year (we normally have our first blooms ready for Mothering Sunday!) but our Tulips are in glorious bloom – glasshouse flowers now with the cutting garden flowers just starting.
