Who we are
About the farm
We are a mixed family farm at Udimore, five minutes from Rye, overlooking the Tillingham Valley; our family has grown hops since 1690, and we are now one of only around 40 hop growers in the country. Since 1978 we have opened our pick-your-own fruit fields (strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, blackberries, hybrid berries, plums, apricots); in October visitors can pick pumpkins and in December choose Christmas trees, and we keep Romney sheep, Sussex cattle, traditional pig breeds and free-range hens. We make award-winning jam and apple juice from our own fruit; our café, open all year, cooks with our own meat, eggs, fruit and vegetables, and in summer we offer glamping in three bell tents in our old apple orchard, plus farm walks, hop tours and an annual Hop Fest.

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.
