Who we are

About the farm

The Carpenter family has grown fruit and vegetables here at Sandridge, near St Albans, since 1923; today our family nursery and Hertfordshire's oldest farm shop are run by James Carpenter, great-grandson of the founder. As a working nursery we grow a large number of perennial and bedding plants on site, and our farm shop sells our own-grown vegetables alongside bread, meat, cheese and other groceries from local producers. Our garden centre offers plants and garden supplies, and our award-winning Potting Shed café cooks with own-grown and locally sourced ingredients.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

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.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
