WHAT'S IN SEASON RIGHT NOW.......JUNE 2024

SUMMER PRODUCE IS COMING THROUGH STRONG...

 

As spring turns in to summer, we're seeing some glorious produce coming through. A great time of year for fresh seasonal fruit, vegetables and salad. Virtually all of the salad items are local now and much of the vegetables are too. The berry season is now in full flow and the quality and abundance thus far has been impressive. Cherries will be with us by early July and early indications are this is going to be a bumper season, that is of course hoping there is no rain of any significance during the harvest. As always, we will be at the forefront of all that's good in Kent and continue to provide some great tasting produce. If you want to taste our produce yourselves, please visit our farmshop on Rochester High Street or sign up for a weekly veg box and we'll bring it to your door.
