Welcome to our restaurant nestled adjacent to our shop and showroom, our beautiful, airy restaurant offers a dining experience surrounded by lush garden views and adorned with antique memorabilia from yesteryear.
Our showroom is one of the main attractions of our business, housed in the historic school hall of Bedford's first school. This space now showcases an array of beautiful furniture and accessories, all crafted in our on-site woodwork factory, Eagle Hout.
Step into our kiosk and farm stall, and you'll be captivated by the funky yet shabby chic-inspired décor. As you browse, you'll be delighted by the wide variety of high-quality products on offer, leaving you both speechless and spoiled for choice.
Bursting with life from Spring through to the end of Summer, our nursery offers a stunning variety of plants to brighten any garden. You'll find a large selection of beautiful seedlings, including flowers, vegetables, herbs, shrubs and even some remarkable fruit trees.
Our bread-making journey began over a decade ago, fueled by a passion for slow food and a desire to revive traditional bread-making techniques lost to modern shortcuts. Inspired by Raymond Calvel’s wisdom in The Taste of Bread, we've honed our craft to suit local flour and climate conditions, baking with the same intuitive passion that drives our love for real, wholesome bread.
Our gardens are a true paradise for both the eyes and the soul. Nestled amidst breathtaking mountainous scenery, the garden is lush, green, and bursting with vibrant blooms and fragrant white iceberg roses that fill the air with their delicate scent. Whether you're strolling through the pathways barefoot or having a family picnic on our expansive lawns, you'll find peace and beauty at every turn.
