Rainbow chard gratin Serves 4-6 The depths of February see even the most industrious of cooks, sadly eyeing up a parsnip desperately trying to think of a new incarnation, whilst they await the first of the Spring produce. Well luckily there is a little colour in the Farm Shop on these dark days, lovely fresh […]

With storm season upon us there’s nothing better than hunkering down and enjoying a warming Winter dinner. This recipe is exactly that, and also takes advantage of the British root vegetables currently in season. This recipe serves 4 and is ideal for vegetarians (and vegans too if you use a dairy-free yoghurt alternative). All the […]

Whilst English apples are still available, this is a great dish to serve alongside a fillet of white fish and a green salad, for a healthy Winter dinner. Our Bramley apples are currently from Kent and are sold at £1.99 per kilo. Serves 4. Ingredients: 500g local white potatoes 1 head of kohl rabi 500ml […]

This recipe is bang on season, using Hodmedod’s yellow pea flour which works much as gram (chickpea) flour does in Indian cuisine for a lovely golden, crisp finish. This is quick and easy to prepare and is naturally vegan and gluten free so ticks all the boxes. If you don’t fancy the washing up, then […]

With our plum trees heavily laden with Damson plums at the moment, and not being a jam-maker myself, I thought I’d take the opportunity to brew up some Damson gin! I used the BBC Good Food recipe but adapted it slightly… 1) Pick 500g fresh Damsons (from our trees on the farm of course!) wash […]

With the change in temperature comes a wealth of British produce, the first being delicious asparagus. This recipe is taken from The Countryfile Magazine and is perfect for a light mid-week dinner utilising the […]

Whilst Jersey Royal potatoes are still in season there’s no way we are going to miss an opportunity to feature them in our seasonal recipe (in case you hadn’t noticed, we flippin’ love Jersey potatoes!) This recipe has been taken from the Jersey Royal website, however we have added our own twist on it, and it […]

It must be the first day of Spring if Jersey Royals have arrived in the shop! These delicious potatoes are one of our favourites here on the farm, although not strictly local, they’re definitely worth the wait. This seasonal recipe utilises the potatoes as well as British grown cauliflowers and is perfect for a mid-week […]

With the first of the forced English rhubarb now for sale in the shop, it would be silly not to be using it in our weekly baking. This recipe is taken from the BBC Good Food website, utilises the rhubarb as well as adding some of our delicious Thursday Cottage lemon curd… plus we all need cake […]
