August already! ☀️

Harvest is normally just starting in August, but with the dry weather we have been having, we are nearly finished! 🥳 🚜 Will we have the month off? No, always jobs on the farm to be done!

We’re open 9.30-4.30 Saturday & Sunday, located at West End Farm, AL4 8EG 📍 Please remember to enter via the West End Barns gateway, not the main farm gate, as although it is often open, it is in constant use with heavy machinery (tractors and trailers).

July brings the start of combining on the farm! ☀️ Hot sunny days have ripened the crops, some of which are now ready to harvest from the fields. This means long days for our farmers, often working well into the night.

For our customers, July means more opportunities for ice creams and iced coffees! We have 12 flavours of ice cream to tempt you with, as well as This Blondie Bakes cakes and the best sausage rolls 🍦

A little reminder, now the farm yard is busier, please remember to enter via the wooden West End Barns gateway, not the main electric farm gate. Thank you and we hope to see you this weekend, maybe you’ll even spot one of our tractors or combine harvester too! 🚜 💛
