Our sunflower field has been a star of the summer again here at Becketts Farm. We have had lots of lovely feedback about the space this year, which has been great to hear.

As well as the sunflowers, our purpose-built picnic area has certainly proven to be popular, with many families taking advantage of the beautiful sunny weather. Furthermore, our wildflower area was also expanded this year. It really was fascinating to see just how many different...

Our stock of Becketts Farm honey is back in store, and it flies off the shelves so quickly each year. Produced under two miles away from our store on our farmland in Earlswood, this really is local honey in every sense of the word. Beekeeper, Andrew draws the honey from a small colony of bees just down the road from here. On average a bee travels less than a mile from its hive for food, so the honey is produced from the nectar of local plants and flowers. For many beekeepers, June sees the first honey harvest of the year....

With lots of lovely fruit coming into season now, it’s the perfect time to dig the blender from the back of the cupboard and get experimenting with smoothies. They’re simple to make and really fun to experiment with, along with packing in plenty of health benefits and nutrients.

Becketts for BBQ! Us Brits love a BBQ, especially when the sun is shining. If you haven’t done so already, it will soon be time to dust off the barbeque and get it fired up to celebrate BBQ week which is at the end of the month.

We are all very familiar with organizing an impromptu get-together, writing a quick shopping list and heading off to the supermarket. We believe when it comes to finding the perfect BBQ ingredients there is only one place...
