Stanhill Farm News!

It is British Pie week from Monday 6th – Sunday 12th March, and as a nation of pie fanatics it appears that we love nothing better than a wholesome pie! We stock a wide selection of Kentish pies - choose from a delicious variety including Steak & Ale, Steak & Kidney, Chicken & Bacon, Chicken, Brie & Cranberry, and Spinach & Mushroom. All priced at £2.85 each, and we also stock a large Black Cherry fruit pie priced at £5.00.

Jersey Royal potatoes are now available, however, as it is still very early in the season the price is currently high at £8.50 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! 

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 £8.00 per kilo, more expensive than the rhubarb cut later in the year due to the specialised way in which it is grown and harvested.

We have now reverted back to our summer opening hours. Monday to Friday the Farm Shop will close at the later time of 5:30pm. Sundays and bank holidays the Farm Shop closing time remains the same at 4:00pm.

We still have Blood oranges and nadorcotts available. These delicious citrus fruits are very popular, and the seasons are short, so make the most of them while you can!

We are currently harvesting parsnips and leeks. 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.
