Where is it from?
Following on from our successful partnership with our friends at a fellow Kentish farm to sell their delicious Rhubarb we are now delighted to offer their Kentish grown Asparagus. We are very glad to be able to offer this British and Kentish Asparagus as we know our customers love our Kentish produce when in season.
So we hope having more carefully sourced items from the Garden of England earlier in the year before our harvest is a win win.
Looking after your Asparagus
We keep the Asparagus chilled to lock in the freshness. When your bundle arrives if not putting to work straight away then keep it in the fridge. You will want to use this promptly. Remember you can cook up a meal with asparagus and then freeze which is a good option for meal planning.

Following on from Forced Rhubarb season we have partnered again with our friends at a fellow Kentish farm to sell their delicious outdoor Rhubarb. Grown outdoors in Kent this Rhubarb is perfect for crumbles, jams, gins and all manner of foodie delights.
The rhubarb comes chopped and will come in a range of sizes. Some very thick bits and some thinner. There may be some dry splits (split and marking) but this does not impact the flavour, particularly as it is cooked.
Currently Available in weights of 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 6kg, 7kg, 8kg and 10kg.
The outdoor Rhubarb season slows in June-August.

Looking after your Rhubarb
We keep the Rhubarb chilled to lock in the freshness. When your bundle arrives if not putting to work straight away then keep it in the fridge. You will have around 1 week with it being at its best but do monitor. Rhubarb is quite hardy and so if you leave it a bit too long then it is worth trying to cook with it so it doesn’t go to waste. Rhubarb can be chopped and frozen.

2024 Harvest – Forced British Rhubarb – Out of Stock – Get 2025 notification by selecting weight and adding email
We have partnered with our friends at a fellow Kentish farm to sell their delicious Forced Rhubarb. At Roughway we love sharing our fresh produce with you but after trying our friends Rhubarb we had to share this seasonal delight. Grown in Kent this Rhubarb is perfect for crumbles, jams, gins and all manner of foodie delights for the Winter season.
Forced Rhubarb is normally thinner than the unforced and it produces these extra thin and elegant stems which outdoor does not. Our bundles of Tender Stem Forced Rhubarb taste delicious, they are thinner sticks than you would find in the supermarkets but there is no difference in flavour or quality. In fact we have found the smaller stems cook slightly faster and you still get bright pink juice and the sticks crumble nicely.
New Thicker Stems – For 2023 we are now able to offer thicker stems from the plants and crop. These are still thinner than outdoor rhubarb but are thicker than the Tender Stems. Please see photos to get an idea on the difference.
Other Information – The Forced Rhubarb Season usually runs from December to March. Tunnelled rhubarb runs from March to May and outdoor from April/June and forced picks up again in December.
You are ordering British Rhubarb with the leaf. This ensures freshness, longevity and greater flavour but remember to cut these off when they arrive. Forced Rhubarb is grown in the dark.
We may occasionally need to cut off the leaf or shorten the rhubarb before dispatch. This is most often due to vigorous growth making them too long for box dispatch.
Currently Available in weights of 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 6kg, 7kg, 8kg and 10kg.

Fresh White Cherries – 3Kg
2024 Season – Finished for 2024 – Sign-up to get notified in 2025 below, select a weight and add your email.
We have a limited range of white cherries on the farm. They are an eclectic mix of varieties that are generally lighter in appearance and are a charming mix of reds and yellows on the outer skin. White cherries taste different to black/dark red cherries, they are still sweet but the flesh is a mixture of oranges, whites and yellows, they are ever so slightly reminiscent of a peach or nectarine but the flavour is still distinctly that of a cherry. They are certainly worth trying!
White cherries can still be red on the outside! So do not be shocked if you have a box of light red cherries. The more common difference is that the flesh inside the cherry is white / yellow opposed to red, purple or black. We could send any variety of white cherry we have so pictures are for display only.
Supply and availability – We have a very limited number of white cherry varieties on the farm. So our supply will be limited. We will be dispatching orders in the order they are received.
We may have to refund your order if we get more orders than supply. So please be aware to avoid disappointment.
- Perfect for parties
- A wonderful gift for friends and relatives
- Farm fresh quality
- Reduced time from field to table
- Traceability – Know exactly where your cherries have come from
