Mouth-Watering

As soon as you enter Gibbet Oak Shop - you think: this is what a proper farm shop ought to be like! You are enthralled with its endless aisles and countless shelves, fridges and freezers neatly stocked with a wonderful plethora of mouth-watering goodies. Having been in fruit growing business for about 45 years now, Peter Nightingale knows exactly the right time of the season to pick his crops to provide high quality produce at its very best. His motto is: Fresh Produce at Farm Gate Prices.

Down at the Farm

Over 12 varieties of apples, 2 varieties of plums, pears, strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn, asparagus, and honey are produced on the farm and go directly to the shop. The farm’s orchards, beehives and vegetable gardens are spread out on tens of acres varying from over 200 ft above sea level down to 5ft below sea level; Gibbet Oak Farm has a spectacular panoramic view of the North Downs.

Specialities

• Peter is especially passionate about Nightingales freshly pressed skilfully processed apple and pear juices made from Gibbet Oak own fruit.

• Gibbet Oak Farm Shop offers honey from its own beehive and even runs beekeeping classes for beginners and experts. The training sessions take place in Gibbet Oak Farm orchards.

• Another Gibbet Oak speciality that catches your eye right on entering the shop is their gift sets – hampers and fruit bowls. They look so appetizing and tempting that a customer gets instantly compelled to treat friends and relatives!

Asparagus

Asparagus has always been the crop Gibbet Oak Farm is particularly proud of. Exceptionally robust, fleshy and supple, full of vitamins and minerals, it lasts for 6 weeks from spring to the beginning of summer, carefully selected and freshly cut daily at the farm’s own asparagus patch. Free leaflets with lots of tips on cooking and storing asparagus are available at the shop.

Testimonials

Amber Cooper, Tenterden,  Ashford Road:  I love them.  I like their atmosphere, and they are always very helpful. We often visit Gibbet Oak Shop with the children, walk around the shop, pick our fruit and veg, and their pear juice is just to die for! It feels like a trip out – you can see how they grow their strawberries.
