Your Trusted Farm Shop & Kitchen in Farnham, Suffolk

Our commitment to quality local food and sustainable farming practices remains at the heart of everything we do.

Our Pick Your Own (PYO) soft fruit fields provide visitors with a unique hands-on experience, while our partnerships with local farmers ensure year-round availability of seasonal vegetables. The 2021 expansion, supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, enhanced our facilities to include a walk-in cheese room and dedicated deli space. Our team combines decades of agricultural expertise with modern service standards to deliver exceptional customer experiences.We prioritise provenance in all operations, working closely with local producers to maintain ethical supply chains. Sustainability guides our business decisions, from reducing carbon footprints to supporting regional employment. With daily deliveries of fresh fruit, vegetables, and baked goods, we cater to both local communities and visitors seeking authentic rural experiences. Our kitchen serves wholesome meals seven days a week, featuring ingredients sourced directly from our farm and trusted suppliers. Through loyalty schemes and community engagement initiatives, we continue building connections between consumers and the land that sustains them.
