OUR HISTORIC FAMILY FARM IN THE DARENTH VALLEY
OUR HISTORIC FAMILY FARM IN THE DARENTH VALLEY
The arable crops are starting to burst through in the fields and soaking up every day of spring sunshine! Our Welsh Black cattle are enjoying new season grass growth and we have been seeing the migrating geese touching down in the water meadows - returning from the warmer continent after Winter!
The shelves in the farm shop are busrting with beautiful Spring decorations, Lavender, throughtful gifts and delicious farm foods.
------------------
Swing by the Farm Shop Coffee Cart as part of a springtime walk. Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome outside the farm shop however we do not allow dogs inside.
Our Lavender Season is only a few months away! The glorioous rows bloom fromTlate June to late July.
This year, we will be releasing tickets earlier than previous years - making a selection live from early May. This is in respose to visitors wanting more time to plan their visit to the fields in the summer.

The Farm Shop is open throughout the year Tuesday - Sundays (closed on Mondays). Filled with local farm foods, seasonal produce, decorations and gift ideas.
Unusual cards, small producers, local Kent artisan crafts and of course, a wonderful range of our Lavender products direct from the farm.
