About Our Farm
Farm
The farm is an all arable one, situated between two north Essex villages Elmdon and Chrishall running along the border Cambridgeshire. We grow wheat, barley, oil seed rape and as mentioned run a contracting business . We have two black Labradors and a small apiary of honey bees. You may get a chance to sample some honey.
Stays
Field of Dreams is our exclusive caravan and camping site, set in our meadow on top of one of the highest points in Essex. You will have an amazing 360-degree view and if you are lucky even a Spitfire on a practice flight taking off from nearby Duxford War Museum. There is an excellent pub a miles walk away in the village of Chrishall. Stays are from £20 a night
