what you'll find
A Saturday at the farm.
Every Saturday, the farm shop, woodland and gardens are open to all. There's no booking and no ticket β just turn up any time between 11am and 2pm and make yourself at home.
Woodland
A quiet loop through the trees β open to all, and a good place for children to run.
Forest gardens
Fruit, nuts and perennials growing in layers, the way a woodland would.
Market gardens
Neat rows of seasonal vegetables, herbs and flowers, worked through the year.
finding us
Finding your way to us.
A quiet lane on the northern side of the South Downs, just below the village of Streat β about 15 minutes from Lewes.
The address
My Little Farm
Streat Lane
Streat, East Sussex
BN6 8RX
The entrance gate is on Streat Lane, just south of the church. Look for our sign at the field edge. The shop and woodland are immediately accessible from the gate.
By car
The easiest route. Around 15 minutes from Lewes and 45 minutes from Brighton. Parking is on the farm β rough ground, but plentiful. Satnavs can be confused by the last stretch; follow signs for Streat village, then the lane south of the church.
By train
Plumpton station is the nearest β a lovely half-hour walk across quiet country lanes, or a short taxi ride. Lewes station is also workable with a connecting bus or taxi.
before you come
The practical things.
A working farm isn't tidy, and the weather won't always be on your side. These are the things worth knowing before you set out.
The land
The Streat Garden sits on a ridge of clay and sand, on the northern face of the South Downs. It's gentle, varied ground β meadow rising to woodland edge, with a long view south to the ridge. The soil tells you what the farm can grow; come and see.
What to wear and bring
Boots or sturdy shoes. The woodland paths can be muddy after rain, and clay holds water. A warm layer and a waterproof are wise most seasons.
If you're coming to the farm shop, bring a bag β or a cold bag if you're picking up meat or eggs.
Children and dogs
Children are very welcome and will find plenty to do β the woodland is good for exploring, and there's space to run around the shop area.
Dogs on leads are fine in the shop and woodland. We ask that they don't come into the livestock paddocks and gardens.
Accessibility
The farm shop area is level and reachable from the parking. The woodland paths are uneven in places, with some gentle slopes. If you want to visit and have specific access needs, write to us in advance and we'll plan a route that works.
Weather and seasons
The shop is open whatever the weather β we grow in it, we work in it. Spring and late summer are the most beautiful times to visit. Winter has its own quiet. Check our journal for seasonal notes before you come.
The village of Streat
Streat is a small, quiet village with a medieval church and a handful of houses. There's no pub or shop in the village itself β Ditchling and Plumpton are nearby for food or a drink after your visit. Please drive gently on the lanes.
any questions?
We're a small team, and we'd love to hear from you.
Write to us before you come, or just turn up on a Saturday and ask at the shop. Either works. [email protected]
