Ripe and avoursome, locally grown strawberries, raspberries and blueberries delivered from New Forest Fruits, just a few short miles down the road from us in Beaulieu, simply cannot be bettered for taste, sweetness and freshness. Another locally grown annual summer treat is the Isle of Wight cherry, which is picked, packed, shipped across the Solent, and on the Farm Shop shelves within a matter of days. Jostling for popularity with the berries are ripe peaches, nectarines and melons, also making a seasonal appearance, so we really do have some fruitful days in store. A must-have for a summer salad is the tomato, and e Farm Shop is proud to stock a wide range of Isle of Wight tomatoes. Sustainably grown – with their own bees to pollinate the plants – all Isle of Wight tomatoes are le to ripen on the vine to be picked at the peak of their avour so that they reach the shops with a perfect blend of freshness and taste. Naturally sweet, these little gems are a must-try when you get the chance. With a breath-taking variety of colours and sizes, these tomatoes are a treat for the eye as well as the palate. As well as fresh produce, Isle of Wight Tomatoes create the most exquisite pesto sauces, chilli jams, spicy aioli, and sun-dried, oak-roasted tomatoes It’s simply not summer without a scoop of ice cream and we are all blessed here in Hampshire with our own ice cream manufacturer just up the road! New Forest Ice Cream is a market-leading ice cream brand providing a mouth-watering array of ice cream, sorbets, ice lollies and puddings from their base in Lymington. e Farm Shop has stocked the New Forest Ice Cream tubs since we rst opened in 2008, and they’re as popular today as they’ve ever been. With a range of super-dreamy avours to choose from, including a vegan range, we’ll have summer licked! Longdown Farm Shop supports local growers, producers, and suppliers. You can help to do the same by shopping locally. Locally grown strawberries too, as a sun-kissed reminder of summer once we move into the colder months. A summery vegetable growing in popularity is the aubergine. With its glossy purple skin, the awesome aubergine is a real food hero. Naturally purple food is bursting with nutrients, vitamins, minerals and other goodies, and the aubergine is up there with the best as a wonderfully healthy option. How to make an aubergine taste as good as its health bene ts: just a couple of ideas - simply slice, chunk or skewer to maximize the surface area for charring on the grill or mix into a tabbouleh salad with couscous, parsley, tomatoes, and a tahini dressing.
