Woodlands Farm Potato Hut

05/09/2026

Morning all,
It was market night last night, and we’re really seeing a shift towards autumn now.
We’ve still got British cherries and strawberries, in fact they’re our special this weekend at £3.00/punnet, or two for £5.
We’ve still got Spanish peaches and nectarines, and some lovely British Victoria plums and greengages. British salad is still in full flow, but that’s being taken over by savoy cabbages, leeks, and some huge cauliflowers. We’re still clinging on to summer just though with some home grown sweetcorn, and local courgettes!
Unfortunately with the summer we’ve had (I’ll do a harvest round-up post next week when we’ve finished spuds!) with several heatwaves and a drought, winter veg is looking in short supply and has therefore been reflected in higher prices. We’ll do our best to stay competitive, but prices have had to rise.
We’ve got big bags of potatoes in the shop now, and red spuds will follow in a weeks time or so. New crop red and brown onions are here too.

Morning all,
We’re having a big stock up this morning, with lots of lovely produce going out! Like these enormous English cherries, Victoria plums, huge Spanish peaches, and the sweetcorn are now starting too. Fresh strawberries, and plenty of bunches of beetroot, carrots, radishes, spring onions! British green beans are now in season too, and they look lovely! Come on down this weekend to find something good!

It might be hotting up outside, but it’s nice and cool in the farm shop this week! I may be dragging out my stocking up for a few days!!
So what’s good in the hut? We’ve got lots of British fruit and veg in. Our own new potatoes are here, local beetroot and broad beans. Organic bunches of carrots, tenderstem, rhubarb, courgettes (all British), Spanish sweetcorn and watermelons. British strawberries, cherries, and most of the salad items are too.
So come down to see what we’ve got, the air-con’s on, all and there’s plenty of fresh goodies to go at!

Just a look back at last weekend, and our third Open Farm Sunday….
We had an awesome day, the weather was great, and the yard was buzzing all day long!
Thank you to all of our exhibitors, those who brought livestock, machinery, and Land Rovers; and our 20 strong team of fantastic helpers.
I hope all of our visitors had a great day on the farm, Dad and I finished on 9 trailer tours each! I’ve just about got my voice back.
We’re very pleased to announce that we have raised over £2500 for the East Anglian Air Ambulance Charity! With thanks to all who supported our raffle, and The Wild Rabbit for sponsoring the event (therefore covering our costs), we are glad to be giving back to the service after needing them a few years ago.
We’re all packed away, and I’m looking forward to a weekend off!
We go again in 2028!

We are pleased to announce that on the 7th of June, we’ll be participating in Open Farm Sunday again!
This will be our third OFS event, and we’re looking forward to welcoming you back to Woodlands Farm for tractor and trailer tours to learn about what we are growing and how. We’ve also assembled our “shed of industry experts” who’ll be able to answer any question you may have about farming and food production.
It’s a whole family event, and there’s plenty of games and activities for children to have a go at. This year’s machinery display theme will be potato equipment, so learn about what goes into growing our spuds!
There’s plenty of food and drink available, the bbq and strawberries & cream will be going all day.
We’re raising money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, so we charge the small amount of £3 per person to get in. We raised £3000+ last time!
Please pre-book tickets with the following link, and we look forward to welcoming you down to the farm.
Please share the word far and wide!

⏰Sunday the 7th June, 11am-4pm.

Come on down to Woodlands Farm for our third Open Farm Sunday event, and this year will hopefully be even better! We’re a small arable family farm,...

The much anticipated announcement of new potatoes is here!
They’re not our own, but they’ve only travelled about two miles. These Maris Bard new potatoes are always popular for their outstanding flavour both hot and cold. They’re rather expensive for the first weekend of the season, but a guaranteed treat!
More local asparagus, and these wonderful bunches of carrots. Plenty of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, we’re even seeing the start of cherries this weekend!
Open all weekend, so be quick before they’re gone!

Morning all! It was market night last night, and unpacking this morning, it’s nice to see how rapidly British salad and fruit is becoming available.
So what’s good this weekend? There’s more asparagus, we sold out this week, plenty of strawbs, rhubarb out of our garden, the first British little gem lettuces. We’ve even got bunches of carrots and beetroot back in! And some tasty apricots too. Plenty of Cypriot new potatoes (ours aren’t far away!), and all the other good stuff.
If you come in to the yard and the shop door is shut, then it’ll be because the air-con is working inside, so always try the door! Have a lovely long weekend, and do call in if you’re out and about!

What’s good in the Potato Hut this weekend?
British asparagus is in full flow now, and we got plenty here in stock, and at two bundles for £6, it’ll fly out I’m sure!
Some lovely radishes, leafy celery, bunches of carrots in, big punnets of strawbs, and what might be the last of the purple sprouting. Majorcan new potatoes, raspberries, and plenty of the huge oranges!
So why not call in this weekend?!
