We’re really lucky to have a great little farm shop just outside town. Middleton Common Farm is found on Middleton Common Lane, near Ditchling Common (postcode BN6 8SF, phone number 01273 890266) and they have a wide range of fresh fruit & veg, dairy products, cakes, other staple foods and greeting cards. The reason we go there is for our logs though, to keep our wood burner happy and us toasty through the winter!
We started the wood burner going last week and although it’s now warmer again, there’s a sense of anticipation going to see the two brothers who own the farm and getting logs in for the next cold evenings. What is charming is that after months of not going, they make us so welcome, asking to be updated on our lives and chatting like good friends. Really lovely people!
