Set on an 80-acre farm in Addlestone, near Weybridge, Crockford Bridge Farm is one of the oldest continually farmed farms in Surrey. There’s even mention of the site existing as a farm in the Domesday Book.

The farm has been owned and run by the Smith family since the 1970s and grows more than 20 different fruit and vegetables including spring asparagus, summer fruits and vegetables and autumnal pumpkins and sweetcorn. They even grow Christmas trees!

This year the farm consolidated the old Ice Cream parlour and Tea Shack and opened a fabulous glass fronted barn! Inside you’ll find the usual hand scooped Gelato, and as a seasonally changing menu of light snacks and refreshments. There are also plans to hold vintage markets.

Events throughout the year start at Easter. During the summer months the pick-your-own visits open for farm fresh produce. In October, it’s all about the pumpkins – this is one of Surrey’s biggest pumpkin growers. There’s pick-your-own, a pumpkin festival over the October half term and pop up food trucks. Bookings are required in the peak months, so we do recommend checking their website.

From November, they sell an incredible range of beautifully hand trimmed potted and freshly cut Christmas Trees. You can even book a visit to cut down your own Christmas tree – choose from farm grown Nordmann Fir, Norway Spruce, Fraser Fir, Blue Spruce.
