Who we are
About the farm
Our 470-acre (approx. 190 ha) family farm in Southfleet, Kent, has been farmed by the Harris family since 1848; today it is run by brothers John and Mark, the sixth generation. We mainly grow cereals, oilseed rape and linseed, plus 5 acres of vegetables grown without irrigation, relying on rainfall. In May 1990 we opened our farm shop in a converted building by the farm gate, where we offer our own seasonal produce (asparagus, rhubarb, beetroot, pumpkins, sweetcorn, Kentish cobnuts) within hours of harvesting, alongside meats, cheeses, bread and Kent drinks from local producers. We run seasonal events all year round (Easter bunny hunt, summer woodland trail, Halloween, Christmas market and Christmas trees), with a picnic area and play area by the duck pond.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
