Who we are
About the farm
We, the McLauchlan family, have grown fruit at Boxted, on the Essex–Suffolk border in the Dedham Vale, for three generations since 1939; Jim has been gradually taking over the farm since 2019. Using small-scale, traditional methods, we grow strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants of varieties chosen for flavour, straight in the ground and open to the elements – not in raised beds or polytunnels – as well as broad beans and sweetcorn. In early summer we sell by pick-your-own; our farm shop at the entrance, open all year, offers picked and frozen fruit, homemade jam from our own fruit and local produce, and Rebecca's food truck, The Wandering Blossom, serves treats made with fruit from the farm.

Write a review
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.
