An Autumn Opening in October!


Harefield Farm has been selling free range eggs at the farm gate for many years now and we thought that it was time to open the gates a little further and start a “farm shop”.


We are in the very early stages of opening up, and although we also rear cattle, we will not be selling meat quite yet, but we hope to very soon.

We are a family run business, the eldest member of which has lived in Eastcote since 1928, and farmed since the 1940s. Now his grandchildren go to Pattishall school, where he went as a boy. In fact all his grandchildren have the gardening bug and the youngest love playing in the orchard and looking for the best cabbages!

We mainly produce “freedom food approved”, free range eggs, and have 16,000 hens whom all have the right to roam across acres of grassy fields. They have fully automated hen houses and in their homes radios play to keep them amused, not only that but they have dimmer switches on their lights too, for bed time!

The farm shop itself is a much less flamboyant affair, but will be simply selling good quality produce from the farm and other local producers.

From beetroot to milk, we will try to provide you with a local shop that will hopefully one day expand out of the “wooden shed”. Come and have a look when we open in October, we hope to be a good service to the local community diet! We are also very open to any ideas you may have.
This is a great opportunity for us to promote excellent quality local food and share in some of the wonderful fruit and veg grown on the farm too. Really you can taste the difference with home grown produce, this year the sweet carrots have been delicious, and we have runner beans growing in abundance.

We would love you to support our small friendly farm shop and hope that you may come and buy a plant, shrub or even tree too when passing. We are setting up a box scheme for eggs etc, so if you can’t get to us but love good produce we may be able to help!


Any local suppliers welcome……Thank you so much, Lucy, 01327 830735. Lucy.cockram@btinternet.com
