Harvesting Figs, Blackberries, Apples & Tomatoes

Harvesting Figs, Blackberries, Apples & Tomatoes

Here at Huxtable Farm, we are busy picking apples and blackberries to make delicious homemade jam for you to sample whilst staying in the B&B rooms or camping on one of the three pitches each with their own bathrooms. Whilst staying at Huxtable Farm during September you are very welcome to pick some apples and blackberries to take home or spot some fabulous fungi around the farm.

There are still some dates available for camping but I’m sorry the B&B is fully booked for September.
