About Us

Picture By Jim Wileman – Anita and Chip de Greeff of Bothen Hill, Bridport, Dorset.

We established our business at Bothen Hill in 2001 and we grow in excess of 150 types and varieties of vegetables on approximately 15 acres in West Dorset. These are available from the Farm Gate on a Friday, we’re open from 9.00 until noon. There’s plenty of room to park and well-behaved dogs are welcome!  If you can’t get here on a Friday morning, we are happy to make up an order for collection on Friday/Saturday. Please either e mail bothenhill@hotmail.co.uk or call us on 01308 424271 to place an order. Orders must be received by Wednesday noon for collection that week.

You can also buy some of our produce at Fruits of the Earth in Bridport. During the asparagus season we supply Fruit & 2 Veg in Beaminster and Washingpool Farm Shop in Bridport, as well as having our own asparagus station at our house which is open 24/7.

The acreage and management of the farm ensures a continuous supply of vegetables throughout the year and also ensures that a rotation system is followed. This ensures that the land is regularly rested and revitalised using not only natural but also green manures, and that no crop is grown in the same place in subsequent years.

Due to the close proximity of the sea the season normally starts early with asparagus in April followed by new potatoes and carrots and the full range of seasonal vegetables. In the autumn and winter we have a full range of root vegetables and squash in addition to sprouts, cabbage, cauliflowers and other green vegetables.
