Fresh and Fruity
Two generations are involved in the day-to-day farming and lots of local children get employment picking fruit during the summer season. They grow a delicious range of vegetables and fruit. Currently, we can feast on strawberries and raspberries, loganberries, tayberries, boysenberries, and jostaberries. It’s such a joy to be able to buy direct from the farm, knowing the fruit has been picked just a few hours earlier rather than flown half-way round the world using up precious energy and arriving several days, and sometimes weeks, later.
When buying fruit, note the variety, as some are better than others. Cambridge Favourite, Elsanta and Rapella are good strawberry varieties. For raspberries we love Malling Jewel but there are others also.
