The farm sits on the end of a sand belt which runs from Somerset to the sea. Consequently the free draining soil is perfect for growing vegetables, salads and soft fruit. The dairy herd was replaced in 2001 by a small herd of North Devon beef cattle. Also to be found on the farm are Middle White cross pigs, Polled Dorset cross sheep and some hens. These animals play an important part in enriching the land. The farm shop (which replaced a small shed!) was completed in April 2000, enlarged in April 2003 and again in June 2006. The main aim is to sell quality produce from local producers and businesses. The licensed Farmer's Kitchen opened shortly after the Farm Shop. A wide menu is available, featuring seasonal ingredients and our own vegetables, salad and meat, when available. Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Tea are served daily. On the farm there are two comfortable self-catering cottages converted from a 17th century farm building. The cottages sleep between 4 and 5 people and are ideal for families. This is also a ten pitch caravan site (adults only). The views from the site are beautiful, over Bridport & West Bay. All pitches are on hard standing and are fully serviced with grey waste disposal, electricity and water connection.

📚 Former Bridport News editor Margery Hookings has turned nearly 45 years of writing about West Dorset people into a novel.

Plashy Fen, written under her pen name Maddie Grigg, is set in an imagined Dorset village by the sea. Told through a chorus of voices, it’s a warm, funny portrait of village life, with a decades-old murder no local can forget.

The book was launched earlier this month at Washingpool Farm Shop, a fitting venue as a farm shop is one of the novel’s key settings.

Plashy Fen is out now on Kindle and in paperback from local bookshops. Read the full story in comments 👇

🍂 Well hello, October. We see you’ve brought the good stuff.🍏🎃🍎🍐🫜
Apples, pears, pumpkin, squash, quince and parsnips are all having their moment, and there are some brilliant seasonal bargains to be found too.

It’s also a great time to gather up fruits berries and veg, and turn them into something delicious for later - preserves, pickles and chutneys. Alittle bit of autumn in a jar. 🌿 🥒 🍅🍆
Keep an eye out in your local supermarkets too for more Dorset and British produce, especially as the shelves start to fill with the flavours of autumn. You don’t have to spend a fortune to eat well.

And don’t forget your local weekly markets, the monthly Dorset Farmers Markets and farm shops. They’re great places to find seasonal produce, meet the people behind it and pick up something you might not have planned on buying. 😉
