Mallards Farm |
Over the last few years my own grown range has increased in supplying local restaurants. It has also proved popular in tasting and culinary delights at local outdoor events.
Saturdays are busy at Mallards and you are welcome to come along and enjoy tasting the produce that you can then buy. Picnic on the benches in the natural setting of a tradition market garden farm.
The Market Garden Farm sits on the site of Monks Hill. It is believed that this land formed part of the monastic gardens and has probably been cultivated since Saxon times. We are the 3rd generation family-owned business.
We follow a nine year rotational program which allows farmyard manure to be used, so there is no need to use chemical fertiliser, thus promoting strong healthy plant growth and reduce the need for intensive spray programs. Where ever possible farm waste is recycled. Green waste is fed to the sheep or composted. Waste oil is collected for recycling. We dol not use plastic on the farm, either in the form of polytunnels or as an aid to grow earlier crops or increase yield.
Produce grown at Mallards Market garden includes:
Asparagus, Runner Beans, Beetroot, Brassicas, Spinach, Courgettes, Cherries, Leeks, Marrows, Hazel Nuts, Potatoes, Plums, Gages, Damsons, Raspberries, Rhubarb, Sweetcorn. We also have Goose Eggs produced by birds fed on bread, grass, grain, fruit and veg. amazing soft boiled with asparagus.!
