Turned on the telly last evening and saw a LEAF farmer being interviewed about her strawberries which she supplies to Wimbledon. Marion Regan of Hugh Lowe Farms in Kent (started by her family more than 100 years ago) has supplied Wimbledon with its strawberries for years, and from what people were saying about them, it looks as if she might continue for many more.
Visitors interviewed – without exception – raved about them, and it was quite clear they were sincere, even with their mouths full! Some astonishing number are consumed over the two weeks – I think 27,000 kilos and 7,000 litres of cream!
Well done Marion! Try her fruit for yourself – you could go to Wimbledon, of course, but for those not tennis keen, the Pick Your Own is now Open. Tuesday to Friday 3pm to 6 pm and weekends 10am to 6 pm.
