Organic Honey and Honeycomb producer

Birchden Vineyards is a little slice of heaven; a family-run, 23-acre working farm where we work with nature and our community to lovingly produce mouth-watering wines, honey and apple juice.

At Bramble Farm Bees, we are dedicated to bringing the finest, locally-sourced honey and bee-related products to your table.

The Castle Farm Shop overlooks the meadows of the River Darent and our farming policy has ensured that the picturesque quality of the valley’s landscape has been retained. In the summer months, our Lavender fields burst into colour across the Kent landscape and we harvest and extract pure Lavender Oil. We also grow hops and sell hop bines, vegetables, dried flowers and much more.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Castle Farm has been awarded Small Farm Shop of the Year at the prestigious Farm Retail Awards 2025 !

The Co-operative Stall has been created by Shipbourne Farmers Market for local stallholders who are unable to attend the market but still wish to sell their produce. We offer a variety of Rapeseed oils, honey, local Kent wines and spirits from Greensand  Distillery

The Farm Shop sells an unbeatable range of local, artisanal produce alongside alongside an ever increasing array of Falconhurst produce – meat from the farm, vegetables from our Market Garden, and honey from our bees. Throughout the year we also host Brunch Clubs, Street food events and Supper Clubs.

The house is embraced by magnificent gardens which are open all year round with visitors welcome to stroll through the mown paths,

We sell all the products from our hives located in apiaries in and around the Weald and Hendal Valley near Groombridge.

We use our own apples to make award winning apple juice, naturally fermented cider and cider vinegar plus hand made seasonal preserves and local honey.
