Carpenter's is a family run farm shop near Colchester, Essex.
Their farm incorporates 137 acres of prime arable farmland growing Potatoes, Wheat, Barley, Strawberries, Raspberries, Asparagus & Christmas trees. Newly established Blackcurrants and Gooseberries are now cropping well.

They claim to be "Probably the best Farm Shop in Essex" and they certainly come pretty close.

The amount of produce on offer is vast. Not only do they offer a pick your own with a quality range of fruit and vegetables, they have a magnificent array of potatoes available along with some of the nicest looking asparagus I've seen grown from their farm.
