A fantastically traditional mixed family farm with Café and Farm Shop overlooking hop gardens and views through the picturesque Tillingham Valley towards Rye. Extensive pick-your-own fruits in summer, as well as pumpkins and Christmas trees.
The café is supplied with fresh, seasonal produce grown on the farm where possible, with an expanding range of vegetables to include asparagus. We make jams, jellies and chutneys for the café, as well as separately for sale, and launched our own Real Fruit made-on-demand ice cream in 2020.
From the beginning of June through to mid-August, the farm is brimming with pick-your-own fruits, including strawberries, raspberries, loganberries, tayberries, gooseberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, blackberries, plums, boysenberries and tummelberries.
The farm has a number of signposted permissive farm trails straddling the Tillingham and Brede valleys with far-reaching views across Sussex and into Kent, crossing rivers and passing through ancient woodland.
Tibbs has more than fruit - they also farm native Romney sheep, run a small flock of exceptionally free-range hens, and have been hop growing since 1690.
Well behaved dogs on leads throughout the year aremwelcome but during the fruit season they cannot go into the fruit fields.
The Cafe has wheelchair accessible with a fully compliant disabled WC. By the nature of being a farm, during the fruit season, whilst plenty of people manage perfectly well in wheelchairs and also with pushchairs we can't guarantee the terrain will be suitable for everyone. Much of the PYO fruit is situated on northern facing banks.
