A moment for the flowers this year - they have been spectacular. 🌸

From first blooms in June to the last picks in November, this season has been such a colourful joy.🌈

With help from Mum , our dahlias truly stole the show - picked and sold locally from June to November. ✨

Zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, verbena and my forever favourite, amaranth, all made an appearance. 🌿

Thanks to .alpenland for giving the flowers a little roadside stage in Earl Soham, and to everyone who took a bunch home. 🙏

Already planning next year - more colours, more varieties, more flowers to share. 💐

The final few weeks of veg boxes are here! 🌿

Right now the boxes are full of autumn goodness - beetroots, carrots, fennel, cabbages, rocket, parsley, basil, dill, onions, garlic, radishes and the very last of the tomatoes from the tunnel. 🍂🌈

As the season winds down, I’m topping up the beds with compost and starting to prep for another year of growing ahead. 🌱

Thank you to anyone who’s supported the farm this year - whether you’ve bought a box, come to an event or just cheered from afar, it really means a lot. 🧡

Veg boxes are available to order from our website - link in bio. 🙏

We are delighted to be collaborating with our dear friend and incredible chef Jamie Starke who will be cooking up a Mediterranean Feast with fresh produce from the farm. 🫒

We’ve known Jamie for a long time and always love the deliciously unexpected things he brings to the table. He’s a man of great taste, and we can’t wait for you to try his food! 🧡

After a week of building - completing the roof on the undercover dining area, sanding and treating oak tabletops, and getting the outdoor kitchen up and running, it’s been a joy to get our hands back in the soil. 🙌

We’ve been planting the next round of spring onions and broad beans, weeding, and harvesting the first of this year’s chard. 🌈

The garden is beginning to pick up pace now. Every bed feels full of potential, and there’s that familiar sense of wonder at how quickly everything takes off as we edge closer to the solstice. 🌞

We hosted our first dinner in the new space this week which doubled up as a test run for our supper club and an important reminder of why we do this: growing food and making space for people to come together and enjoy it. 🧡

This weekend, we’ll be planting out courgettes and starting to fill the polytunnel with aubergines, peppers and tomatoes. 🌶️

The garden is really starting to hum with the energy of the season - and of everyone who helps make it happen. 🐝🧡
