No Bonfires Please

Please do not burn garden waste, or any other waste, under any circumstances.

With many people currently in their homes it is important to be considerate of your neighbours in Poynings. Smoke and smells from bonfires can aggravate respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis and affect those with heart complaints.

Please either compost your garden waste, keep it in a safe place or put it into your garden waste bin. Please continue to put your general waste in your black-lidded refuse bin. All of our waste services are currently running as normal apart from Garden waste which has been temporarily suspended.

Can’t get out!!

For those of you who can’t get out, here is a lovely picture of Cora’s Corner with the 650 Celebration tulips.

Rushfields Update

Farm Shop delivery

Since the coronavirus has made us close the doors of the garden centre, we are running a delivery service from the Farm Shop. 

For this week (March 30 – April 5) we have four options:

  1. Veg Box: contains a selection of vegetables, we try to vary the items from week to week, depending upon market availability. The cost of the box is £15
  2. Fruit box: with a mix of apples, satsuma’s, pears, bananas, grapes etc. Again, we do our best to vary from week to week. The cost of this box is £10
  3. Dairy selection: contains a small loaf of bread (brown or white), 1ltr milk, 6 eggs, and approx. 250 grams of cheese (a mild cheddar). The cost of this box is £8
  4. Selection of the Butchery: our butcher Paul said he is ready to go, so if you would like any meat, sausages, bacon, mince etc. just add that to your order. The price differs per item.

    Due to the overwhelming response, we aren’t able to guarantee a delivery time or day, we have more than one van going around, so we should be able to cover a wide deliver area on the same day. If you are not in, we can’t come back on the same day, you’ll have to wait until we deliver in your area again. We hope that this will meet some of your needs during these difficult times.

    HOW TO ORDER

    To order any of the boxes, simply send an email to farmshop@rushfields.com with your order. 

    We need to know:

  5. What you would like and how many including anything from the butcher.
    Please state your choice of bread (brown or white)
  6. Your name and address
  7. Your phone number

    We’ll call you to take card payment and arrange the delivery. If you have any questions about the delivery service, you can send us an email. We hope you’ll stay safe and healthy. At Rushfields, we can’t wait to see all of your friendly faces again soon.
