Horsenden Farm is the hub of activity. The children’s play area and the car park are open 365 days a year. Horsenden is a working farm, home to a small urban farm and orchard. Farming at Horsenden goes back to, at least, Tudor times and is alive and well today with a market garden tended by volunteers, using environmentally friendly permaculture principles. At the farm shop there’s ever increasing range of home grown and farm produced goodies to tempt you; from apple juice to beer; fresh fruit and veg (during growing seasons); local honey; home made jam; delicious flatbreads baked on the wood fired oven; and freshly baked sweet treats to tickle your tastebuds
Look out for quirky artwork in all the public spaces. You’ll find owls, hedgehogs, fairy doors, a dragonfly and much more. The insect hotel is home to our tiniest residents. A Sensory Garden with winding walkway, edible and aromatic plants and trees and central seating area, is a magical corner in which to rest.
The Horsenden Loaf bakery + coffee stall is open every Friday Saturday and Sunday (apart from Sundays after a farm event such as tap day or a fair) from 11am till 2pm on Fridays and 10am till 4pm on weekends.
The agricultural side of the farm – growing the veg, tending the orchard, and looking after the animals – is done by local volunteers. Anyone wanting to lend a hand is very welcome, please get in touch!
