Welcome to Over Farm Market
Hi everyone, apologies for the website being slightly out of date, things have been getting quite hectic on the farm! We’ll get onto that in a minute.

First off, I’d like to introduce my brother and myself. My name is Matt, I’m the prettier blonde one, and my brother is Rees. Together we have taken over the business from our Dad (Rob) who is spending most of his time relaxing in France! He will occasionally come back to “help out”, which I’m assured means he’s just helping out, not telling us what to do… we’ll see!

We have lots of big plans for the farm over the next few years, some of the plans are mere dreams that haven’t yet made it to paper, others are on paper and awaiting the required funds and some are even days away from fruition. We’ll keep you posted on those.

Here and now, we’re really concentrating on getting our strawberry fields ready for the upcoming summer months. We’ve spent a lot of time putting in new tabletops for the strawberries to grow on. Keeping the plants off the ground helps us keep a much closer eye on water and nutrients for the plants and also prevents dirty knees and achy backs for anyone picking them!

We’ve also been planting Christmas trees whilst getting sunburnt. I’m sure there’s some sort of irony there?!? We buy the trees in when they’re around 5cm tall and expect them to grow at roughly 1ft per year, so we look at them being on any piece of ground for at least 5-6 years.

Luckily, you won’t have to wait that long for our Rhubarb and Asparagus which absolutely loves this warm weather. They’re both being picked fresh daily for the farm shop.

On the events side of things, next up is “Barn on the Farm” music festival which is taking place on the first weekend of July. In it’s fourth year, the event has really been leaping forward and is now attracting over 1000 folk music fanatics from all across the country. We must be doing something right as we sold out of tickets back at the beginning of April!

Matt and Rees KeeneThat’s all from us for now, here’s to a nice summer.
