Manor Farm is a 500 acre arable farm on New Barn Road , Southfleet owned and farmed by the Harris family since 1848 and home to Broadditch Farm Shop which opened it ’ s doors in 1990 . Broadditch has the philosophy ‘ reduce your food miles , so your food tastes miles better ’ supplying fresh homegrown produce direct from their own fields . Everything grown on the farm is grown traditionally with no added water or irrigation to gain maximum flavour . In 2001 , Manor Farm joined the Countryside Stewardship Scheme , which encourages farmers to create and preserve the natural habitat which sixth generation Harris ’, John and Mark still strive to protect and honour .
In addition to it ’ s homegrown fare , the Farm Shop supports various local producers , stocking meat from Glover ’ s Farm and Harvel House Farm , homemade pies from The Real Pie Company , cheese from Curd & Cure , eggs from Barradale , cakes from Country Cakes and Plaxtol Bakery , fresh bread from The Granary and much more .
Walking through the doors into the newly renovated Farm Shop is a delight to the lovers of quality food . Housed in a converted farm building by the farm gate it offers a little taste of the countryside to all .
Amid the expansion of the supermarket chains and a recession , farm shops like Broadditch have even more relevance in providing customers with fresh , locally sourced produce and as Mark and John advocate , focus should be on understanding where our food comes from , supporting local , and taking pride in our consumption .
