Spring is here! Finally the rain has given way to beautiful blue skies – it is very blustery today but at least it is drying up the ground ready for our spring planting… Sadly our daffodil patch has suffered with the very wet winter and the previous two wet winters. It is not looking as glorious as it used to and needs some tlc which we will attempt in the autumn. This being said – our set up will be different this year so those regulars who are used to visiting us – please take note! Our daffodil patch will be open for visitors but by pre arrangement only. We are lambing at the moment but will answer questions and emails as quickly as possible. If you want to visit for Mother’s Day this will be possible- send us an email to arrange a time. Email us at : contactus@glebefarm.uk Many thanks for your continued support! Mary

What a magnificent PYO daffodils we’ve had this year! The sun shone, the flowers were denser in parts particularly in sheltered areas which made up for those we lost to two wet springs. It has been truly uplifting to see the field is such glory this spring. We still have plenty left to pick but most are in full bloom now so this marks the end of the season. We will be open Wednesday 16th 12pm -5pm and Good Friday 10am-1pm. Good Friday will be our last day. With the rain and wind forecast this week we sadly won’t be opening on Easter Sunday this year as we fear the flowers will be past their best by then.

What a beautiful day at the daffodils- we had blue skies and non stop sunshine ☀️ And lots of happy customers including a very special visitor of 103 years old! Which ties in with the fact that we had over 100 visitors today! We are so lucky with the weather this spring – and thank goodness after two wet springs in a row! We will be open again for PYO daffodils on Friday 4th April and again on Sunday 6th. We open at 10am & our last entry slot is 4pm. See you there – you can expect a warm welcome from our family team.

We opened the daffodil field for the first time today – the patch is looking beautiful and we had some very happy visitors.

Our daffodils are starting to bloom and the weather has been dry so far this March. We are really looking forward to opening the daffodil patch very soon and welcoming visitors back to our beautiful farm! What to expect? Peace and quiet – a lovely 5-10 minute stroll to the daffodil patch along a secluded grass track. What will I find? Seven different varieties of daffodil. Lothario; Sir Winston Churchill; Primrose Beauty; Red Devon; Great Leap; Quirinus & Mount Hood. The multi headed varieties will most likely bloom in early April. There is nothing quite like walking up & down the rows of daffodils picking your own blooms to take home. And of course the field has the most beautiful backdrop for photos. Refreshments? When possible our own coffee van will be open serving delicious barista coffee; hot drinks & homemade cakes. Watch this space for updates & opening times

Our Pick Your Own Daffodil patch is now closed for the season. We would like to thank all our visitors, new ones and regular ones, for coming to our farm this spring. We hope you took some beautiful varieties home with you! Our Narcissus are not your standard trumpet daffodils – we have stunning multi-headed varieties such as Sir Winston Churchill (highly fragrant, pale cream flowers) and the delicate Primrose Beauty (delightfully scented, soft yellow blooms). Come and join us next Spring! We hope to plant some additional varieties this autumn so watch this space… Our next PYO event will be Sunflowers in Early August. The sunflower season is fleeting, so don’t miss it! It has been a very wet spring which has massively impacted our farm. We are desperately hoping for dry spells to allow us to plant our spring crops (including sunflowers and pumpkins). The PYO is a very small part of what we do. Let’s hope we get some beautiful April sunshine soon to let us get on with our planting! If you are familiar with our farm, you will probably had a coffee or hot chocolate from my little tuk tuk “Oscar”! This used to be at Moreton in Marsh train station until Grouch Coffee sold it. In order to keep the coffee machine ticking over between our PYO events I have decided to pop up on Wednesday mornings throughout the spring/summer months. So if you are local, come and say hello, grab a coffee, go for a walk or sit and enjoy the views. This is a rustic affair but we think that adds to the charm! All the best, Mary

We had a lovely day yesterday- so many happy visitors came out to support us despite the blustery conditions! The lambs were frolicking in the sunshine and dodging the April showers We will be open this week on Wednesday 10th and Friday 12th April

We had a fantastic Easter Sunday at the field – it was great chatting to so many happy visitors who return each year for our PYO events! We will be open again this Sunday – the daffodils are looking glorious and we have some highly scented and stunning multi headed varieties available to pick now. Our coffee van will be open serving delicious locally roasted coffee. Come and enjoy a scenic stroll to the daffodils (a 10 minute walk across fields) and then reward yourself with a coffee or hot chocolate! Happy picking!

We are very excited to announce we will be opening our Pick Your Own Daffodils on Easter Sunday (31st March) It has been such a wet Spring we haven’t been able to open up to the public until now but we have been busy picking hundreds of daffodils and selling to a local florist and also selling “Friday Flowers” at the end of our farm lane. Now that the ground is a bit drier we have decided to release a limited amount of tickets for Easter Sunday. More dates will be added throughout April. We are focusing on Sundays but if we are able to we will open on other days too. Watch this space… Let the 2024 daffodil picking begin! This is our fourth year. If you haven’t been before you are in for a treat. It is a lovely 10 minute scenic walk to the daffodil patch. The daffodils are in a secluded meadow with a stream running through it. The only sounds are birdsong and maybe a rumble of a distant tractor or the sound of sheep and their lambs calling to each other. It really is a beautifully tranquil spot and the perfect place to step away from it all and recharge. For more info regarding visiting please see our FAQ page
