2023 has been a special year for Greendale, with so many new ventures, including Oscar’s, the pumpkin patch, our Love Local Market and even a visit from Christmas’s main man, Santa himself!

Alongside all the fun, Christmas can bring many challenges and pressures - nobody is immune, and at times things can feel a little overwhelming. I’m so proud of the team here @ Greendale, as throughout it all they’ve worked hard to ensure there’s plenty of the finest local produce available to fulfil our customers’ festive foodie plans.

The passion, commitment and love the Greendale team have for the shop and its produce is second only to the care they show for each other and for our customers, helping to make sure that everyone enjoys the festive period no matter how busy things get.

So, to the amazing team at Greendale Farm Shop and to all those who support us, shop with us or follow us on social media, I’d like to say a big ‘thank you’, and I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!

- Tom

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! We hope you all have a fantastic time celebrating and enjoy the delicious festive produce our teams have worked so hard to produce ✨
