Stanhill Farm News!

Jersey Royal potatoes are now available, however, as it is still very early in the season the price is currently high at £8.00 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! Available to buy from both our Farm Shop and Click & Collect Service.

Now is the time of year that we begin to sow Brussels sprouts. Previously, we sourced our Brussels sprouts as transplants (small plants) from a nursery in Kent, however, the farmer has now retired. As a result, we have resurrected an old seeding machine to sow the Brussels sprouts in the seed trays to create our own transplants - these will then be planted at the end of May. This process will also be used for Kalettes. Additionally, we are hoping to grow a new variety of red Brussels sprouts called ‘Red Bull’.

It is British Beef Week from Saturday 23rd - Saturday 30th April and an opportunity to focus on recognising and highlighting British beef farmers and the work they do to support sustainable practices on their farms. It is down to the strides being taken by British farmers that means beef from Britain continues to maintain its position as being amongst the most sustainable in the world. We stock Beef mince, and Rib Eye, Sirloin and Fillet steaks in our Farm Shop. Sourced from Glovers Quality Meats in Hartley, Kent, owned and run by the Glover family for four generations. Delivered to Stanhill Farm every week on a Tuesday and Friday. Orders welcome – subject to availability.

There is currently a shortage of salad produce, therefore we are struggling to source certain items. We will do our best to source them but if we are unable to, a substitute will be offered for Click & Collect orders. Please bear with us and thank you for your patience.
