Summer is the most plentiful in the British season for fruit and vegetables. We have embraced it by building our market gardens this year, getting ready to produce our own fruit and veg for 2026! Follow The Sussex Mum’s blog for our progress over the winter and spring. Our Sussex producers will be celebrated in the June Supper Club focusing on Veg and the August Supper club focusing on our local fruit growers. Even our cakes in the cafe and farmshop are making the most of the fruit and veg, with courgette, lime and pistachio cake, raspberry cake, blueberry cake and our now popular rhubarb and elderflower cake!
