This coming Sunday will be Harvest Festival at Trinity Church which is where I normally go. People bring food and other gifts which get shared out the next day among people ‘in need.’

And where better (in Abingdon) to go at around Harvest than to Peachcroft Farm.

I was suprised that they are still doing “Pick your Own” so late in the season. They have some late raspberries, runner-beans and sweet corn.

They have a nice little shed selling fruit and vegetables – pre-picked. And behind that is a proper shop run by “Wells Stores.” The Peachcroft farm web site says the store “is bursting with all kinds of country food – the kind of fresh and home produced food that makes your mouth water.”

And alongside the shop are lots of turkeys running about in the sunshine, and clambering over the bales of straw. The turkeys also get a note on the website as “‘old fashioned’ slow growing strains, and grow to full maturity, giving their meat an excellent texture.”
