Buriton Farms

Susan had prepared a wonderful range of sandwiches, cakes and scones at Bolinge Hill Farm – and there were also bowls of fresh raspberries and lashings of cream.

Conversations ranged widely and the world was gradually put to rights as everyone chatted over cups of tea and coffee or strolled around the delightful gardens in beautiful weather.
 

As part of Buriton’s “Down on our Farms” programme of events, open days, walks and talks Mrs Susan Shone is kindly hosting a special mid-summer Farm Tea at Bolinge Hill Farm on Wednesday afternoon, 10^th July: 2.30 – 4pm.

Farm owner Susan Shone will also provide afternoon tea back at Bolinge Hill farmhouse where visitors will be able to wander around the gardens. 

This event is for parishioners and families only. Dogs are welcome on the walk – as long as they are kept on leads – but not in the garden for tea.

Conversations ranged widely and the world was gradually put to rights as everyone chatted over cups of tea and coffee.

Lots of families enjoyed the chance to look at animals, inspect the amazing machinery that modern farms use today and study a range of displays in the lovely old barns that explained what crops are grown on the farm and what they are used for.

Amazingly the rain stopped at 1.45pm for the 2 o’clock start – and the sun even shone as the group of villagers, families and friends strolled along paths not normally open to the public.

Once back at the Farm after a delightful guided walk, everyone was treated to a scrumptious afternoon tea – and cakes galore!

This talk, part of the ‘Down on Buriton’s Farms’ programme of events, will be delivered by Roger Knight who was Deputy Director of the National Maritime Museum until 2000.

The talk will take place in St Mary's Church, Buriton, whilst it is decorated for harvest Festival.

Mrs Shone is one of a number of farmers in the parish of Buriton who now sell their produce directly to parishioners, family and friends.

All the beef comes fresh, butchered into portions and, vacuum packed and labelled – ready for freezing.
