It's been a good tomato season but we now have pretty much the last of them in the shop, but we also have our delicious monster tromboncinos and a few squashes

Were harvesting lots of tomatoes which would go very well with the eggs we have on offer, and the sausages in our new freezer

We have lots of fresh white onions, shallots and green garlic in the shop, as well as some tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and courgettes

Our white onions are being harvested and are for sale in the shop, they are dense crisp onions with a clean bright flavour perfect for using in salsa, guacamole or finely sliced as a garnish

Please sponsor us! We’re braving the Lloyds of London Charity Abseil on 27th June, climbing down the 250ft high famous building to raise funds for Surrey Docks Farm. We need your donations to help us overcome any fears as we start our descent: https://t.co/xLGDSleqy9

Plot to Shop students are harvesting their green garlic this week! Two of the team enjoyed pulling up the first bulbs this morning & there’s lots more to come.
Visit the farm shop to buy yours, or taste it in our delicious pizza sauce at the Spring Fair on Saturday! 🧄🍕☀️

Although we have honey bees in the orchard, most of our pollinating is done by other insects like this lovely Tawney mining bee with its face buried in a broad bean flower #GoodToGrow2024

[Plot to Shop @Plot2Shop]

We grow a lot of plants, we sell the ones we don't need outside the shop, named varieties of tomato for £2 each and unknown for £1 each as well as other herbs, vegetable plants and flowers

Reusing donated pots really helps us keep the prices of our plants down, it also means instead of shopping for pots we can spend our time planting plants😁🪴🌿

[Surrey Docks Farm @surreydocksfarm]

Help! We need your plant pots! The horticulture team have been so busy potting on plants, we’re now running low on the smaller sizes. If you have any pots you’re not using, please drop in at the farm shop and we can reuse them! 🌱♻️

We are selling pots of cat grass in the farm shop, it's a hit with this cat who has stopped chewing her flatmate's orchids and is thoroughly enjoying it, so much so that we suspect she may be part rabbit

We have the first bunch of purple sprouting broccoli as well as spicy salad bags and Jerusalem artichokes in the shop today
