Whether it be the finest Sussex beef or Southdown lamb, traditional local cheese, additive free chicken or truly free range eggs - top quality food is available close-by. There are regular Farmers Markets, a Farm Shop with a difference at Middle Farm, Firle, and freshly caught fish from the coast. In season, oven ready game, asparagus, strawberries, raspberries & soft fruits may be obtained from local farms.
