Stanhill Farm News!

Easter sees the welcome return of our favourite Hot Cross buns! Delivered fresh each morning by our local bakery and priced at £1.00 each, make the most of these tasty treats while they are still around! It is traditional to eat warm Hot Cross buns on Good Friday, with their combination of spicy, sweet and fruity flavours they have long been an Easter tradition.

Superstitions about Hot Cross buns ranged from the belief they had medicinal powers, to sailors insisting on having them on board to ensure a safe voyage. Today it is still considered good luck to hang one above your door on Good Friday. We also have large Easter cakes available, priced at £4.50. 

We have had some new additions to our Farm Shop over recent weeks and are pleased to introduce the launch of a delicious coffee range! Street & Co. City Roast Ground Coffee is produced locally in Greenhithe, Kent, using 100% Arabica beans from Brazil, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Street & Co have made a delicious medium roast blend with rich toffee sweetness, honeyed notes and a soft citrus finish, priced at £4.25.

Also available is Street & Co. Decaffeinated Ground Coffee priced at £4.95 and Dualit Nespresso Compatible Pods (Decaffeinated) and Dualit Nespresso Compatible Pods (Indian Monsoon) both priced at £4.00. 

We are also now stocking syrups - the perfect complement to your coffee! Monin syrups from France add delicious flavour, not just to coffee but also to cocktails, milkshakes and hot chocolate, to name just a few! Choose from:

● Hazelnut - aroma of hazelnut with a touch of almond and vanilla. Brings a luxurious nuttiness to beverages: £7.15 (700ml)
● Vanilla - aroma of sweet vanilla extract adding a rich, indulgent flavour to beverages: £7.15 (700ml)

Both flavours are also available in sugar free versions, priced at £9.90 (1L).

As a nation of tea lovers in the UK, we are pleased to introduce a delicious tea range to our Farm Shop! We are now stocking award winning Birchall teas. Bursting with flavour and sourced exclusively from estates across East Africa. Available in the following blends:

● Camomile: £3.65 ● Darjeeling: £4.50 ● Great Rift: £3.65
● Green Tea: £4.00 ● Lemongrass & Ginger: £3.65

Jersey Royal potatoes are now available, however, as it is still very early in the season the price is currently high at £7.50 per kilo. This price will come down as the season goes on and more become available. The start of Jersey Royals is always a good sign as it indicates that the weather is improving! 

Our Farm Shop and Click & Collect opening hours/days will change over the Easter weekend, so please keep an eye on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, or our website for updates. 

We are currently harvesting Savoy cabbages, Tundra cabbages, Purple Sprouting broccoli, White Sprouting broccoli and Green kale. Fresh from the fields, zero food miles and no plastic!

All of the above products are available to buy from both our Farm Shop and Click & Collect Service, with the exception of the Easter Cake, Jersey Royal potatoes and White Sprouting broccoli, which are currently only available to buy from our Farm Shop.
