We are one of West Dorset’s largest vegetable growers with over 150 different varieties grown on more than 15 acres – the farm is 45 acres in total.
We farm with a focus on plant diversity and maintaining soil health, having been organic for over 20 years until 2024. On of our main and most popular crops is our asparagus, which usually arrives around Easter and is available for the following 12 weeks approximately, depending on the weather conditions.
Produce is available all the year round, starting with asparagus, early carrots and new potatoes and moving on to summer vegetables – peas, beans, spinach, beetroot to name but a few, with salads, lettuces and leaves, tomatoes and cucumbers following. Autumn brings a wide range of squash together with numerous cabbages, cauliflowers and other brassicas and also root vegetables for the winter.
Our produce is available directly from us at the farm gate on a Friday morning until noon. If you can’t get here then, we can make up an order for collection on either Friday or Saturday. Please either mail us at bothenhill@hotmail.co.uk or phone 01308 424271 by Wednesday 12.00 noon for collection on either Friday or Saturday. We also supply Fruits of the Earth in Bridport throughout the year. Our asparagus is available during the season at Fruit and 2 Veg in Beaminster and Washingpool Farm in Bridport, as well as direct from us at our Asparagus Station situated outside the house 24/7.
