Reimagined Spaces, with social distancing and strict health and safety measures to keep both you and our teams safe, our capacity has shrunk to 20 tables divided between our upgraded veranda and the original café area… outside the nestingbox garden and orchards are open for takeout picnics too… again save yourself from queues and delays by booking your picnic ahead and enjoy our lovely little corner of Herefordshire…

As well as tasting great their ferments are a natural probiotic that can help improve digestion and immune function and also reduce inflammation and allergies (56g of live sauerkraut has more probiotics than a bottle of 100 count probiotics). They compliment many foods and will very quickly make every meal a daily feast. With a variety of flavours you are bound to find a Ferme favourite.
Hill House Farm
We are a family farm growing arable crops, cider apples and cherries along with some layer breeder chickens.
The first of our cherry trees were planted nearly 20 years ago and have slowly planted more trees to meet demand. We started selling cherries from the farm gate with an honesty box, but soon with word of mouth we realised that we needed something more permanent and now have a manned stall open 7 days a week during the short cherry season.
We grow the following varieties – Sunburst, Lapins, Colney, Stella, Summer Sun, Sweetheart, Penny and Cordia – All grown under Polly tunnels which are covered from March until all the cherries are picked.
All of the cherries are picked on the day of sale by a small band of pickers who start at 4am each morning to ensure the cherries are as fresh as possible. The early start is necessary as it can reach over 45 Celcius on a sunny day under the tunnels!
A destination for everyone…
with acres of reclaimed farmland, a beautifull mixed fruit orchard, wildflower meadow, footpaths and childrens area thenest is the perfect spot to catch up with friends, family and of course you must bring the dogs!
Local Suppliers
We pride ourselves on supporting the many award winning local suppliers we are blessed to be surrounded by… Wilce’s supply a great range of bottled ciders, our own label ACV (apple cider vinegar) and the draught for the cafe bar… loads other Cider makers are of course featured at thenest
Our fabulous ‘Henry’
