Below is a list of the local farms who are participating in the OpenFarmSunday and some other hints and tips!.

Caroline’s Dairy at Marsh and Chalder Farm in Sidlesham is the nearest – and they make delicious organic icecream from their dairy cows! In fact it has won numerous awards and accolades! We can’t get enough of it! Our fav flavour – probably the naturally orange coloured sea buckthorn, but you can only get this one in local restaurants.

So… what are you waiting for! Put the date in your diary… and if you need somewhere to stay – we are here!
