As well as our quite remarkable varieties of Apples... I am still in the thick of discovery, our Soft Fruits, Plums, Pears and Juices, we sometimes forget to mention the Market Garden.
Drove Orchards has a beautiful Market Garden, with beds, polytunnels and a lovely Victorian Greenhouse where at least eight varieties of tomatoes are grown.
At the moment we have in the gardens Sweetcorn, Uchiki Kuri Pumpkins, indoor and outdoor Tomatoes, two varieties of Cucumbers (one heritage), various sweet Peppers, Chillis, Runner Beans, Cabbages, Lettuces, Marrows, Artichokes... and more.
The veg is picked every weekday and moved a mere 100m to our Farm Shop, where you can get hold of some for yourself. We also have this produce available at some of the markets we attend, shown above.
Really interesting to hear about the resources you have at your disposal. I imagine the Victorian Greenhouse is a sight to behold. So much fresh produce must be very exciting. Lots of experimenting I bet. R&D is key!
ReplyDeleteThanks David...you're welcome to pop over to the orchards anytime. We so loved your pics taken at the market. BW.
