Stanhill Farm News!
It has been a busy time on the farm as we count down to Christmas! Our British grown Christmas trees are now on sale. All trees are stored undercover and can be de-netted to enable you to view them properly and select the right tree for you. We are happy to re-net your chosen tree and load it into your car. Please see the Farm Shop page of our website for further information.
We are accepting Click & Collect Christmas orders via the Click & Collect page of our website. Please follow the instructions given.
Please note, our system will only accept orders up to two weeks in advance of the collection day, so for example, if you would like to collect your order on Monday 22nd December you will be able to place your order from Monday 8th December onwards.
Please can we ask that you wait for your phone call before coming to the farm to collect your order. Thank you for your cooperation.

We need your help, please! Parkinson’s UK is a charity very close to our hearts, and we are collecting used stamps from letters and cards (all year round) to send to them, as they recycle the stamps to generate much needed cash for the charity. If you can help by tearing off stamps from your post (foreign stamps included) we would be extremely grateful. With Christmas around the corner, this is a fantastic opportunity to recycle the stamps from your Christmas card envelopes!
There is a box behind the counter in the Farm Shop to drop off your stamps. When we have accumulated a large amount, they will be sent to Parkinson’s UK. Thank you so much!
All the above products are available to buy from both the Farm Shop and Click & Collect Service, with the exception of the Ruby’s Christmas range, which is only available from the Farm Shop. Subject to availability.
