Farm Fresh - Garsons of Esher, Surrey

Farms with more than a hundred years of history are worth visiting, and Garsons is one such Surrey farm. Growing since 1871 in the sand-dusted fields near the River Mole, Garsons supplies the London wholesale market with fresh produce.

At the site, a well-appointed garden centre offers outdoor clothing and wellies, kitchenware and furnishings as well as a wide range of indoor and outdoor plants. The Farm Shop is a testament to local produce and international goodies. Though the meat section is small, the selection is first class. An impressive cheese and deli counter represents tastes from all over Europe.

In Spring through early Autumn, Garsons offers pick-your-own fields of strawberries, raspberries, asparagus, runner beans and sunflowers.
