WHAT'S IN SEASON RIGHT NOW.......OCT/NOV 2024

THE SEASON IS CHANGING, TIME FOR THE WINTER PRODUCE TO COME THROUGH...

 

As summer turns in to autumn, we're seeing the winter produce starting to come through. A great time of year if you love hearty comforting food while warm and cosy indoors. As we wave goodbye for another year to the summer berries and soft fruit, we now move into what is regarded as the vegetable rich winter season. As always, we will be at the forefront of all that's good in Kent and continue to provide some great tasting produce. If you want to taste our produce yourselves, please visit our farmshop on Rochester High Street or sign up for a regular veg box and we'll bring it to your door.
