Stanhill Farm News!

English Forced rhubarb is now available, sourced from the Rhubarb Triangle in West Yorkshire, famous for producing early Forced rhubarb. The rhubarb is kept in complete darkness and pickers then pull the stalks in candlelight, as any exposure to strong light will stop the growth. Forced rhubarb is priced at £10.00 per kilo, more expensive than the rhubarb cut later in the year due to the specialised way in which it is grown and harvested. Our own green top rhubarb grown here on the farm should be ready within the next few weeks!

Magic Star and Cameo apples are still being sourced from Roughway Farm, Tonbridge. Braeburn and Bramley are still English but are being sourced from the wholesale market.

With the evenings now drawing out, our Farm Shop opening times have changed slightly for spring and summer, as follows:

• Monday – Saturday: 9:00am – 5:30pm
• Sunday: 10:00am – 4:00pm (remains unchanged)

We are currently harvesting parsnips, leeks, kalettes, and kale. Fresh from the fields, zero food miles and no plastic!

All of the above are available to buy from both our Farm Shop and Click & Collect Service. Subject to availability.
