Elveden Farms

J’adore le concept en soi, d’acheter les bons produits de la ferme, dans un bel endroit qui fait épicerie fine, qui propose aussi des supers accessoires de cuisine et de maison.
Mais, je suis pas persuadée que les fraises que j’ai trouvé aujourd’hui en plein novembre poussent dans leur jardin, et les produits que l’on retrouve dans toutes les fermes du même genre du coin, c’est pas tellement authentique.
M’enfin bref, j’apprécie quand même l’endroit, surtout parce-qu’ils vendent des viennoiseries et pâtisseries congelées, à cuire soi-​même qui sont bien bonnes.
Les pains vendus sont par contre du style anglais.

As far as farm shops go this one was fairly spectacular. Granted it’s a bit of a stretch in terms of reach from Mancy Towers. But if anyone is ever in these neck of woods, I highly recommend you bookmark this place and visit.
The Eleveden farm estate has such rich history and as soon as you enter the grounds it really feels like it. There’s an air of majesty about it that’s evident from the off. The lush green lawns, the surrounding white mansions, the fresh country air and the trees that surround the grounds give it a heavenly vibe. The aristocrats of yesteryear who owned the estate over the centuries certainly made their mark. I was also astonished to find that it was originally owned by A Maharaja Runjeet Singh of Lahore.
The farm shop and restaurant have only been around for 8 years but are already an established high class brand in their own right. A gorgeous courtyard is surrounded by the restaurant, farm shop and other which I’m certain is packed during the summer.
All in all, this was a magical little visit to a hidden treasure in the glorious East England countryside. If you’re ever lucky enough to be in these lush neck of woods, highly recommend it.

The farm shop is great for gifts and odd bits. I also enjoyed several meals in the café. Seasonal local offerings are always a win in my book. They do seasonal events for Christmas and for Halloween. I definitely visited many times whilst living local, and will make a trip when I get back to the area.
