Over 30 years ago, The Tacons took a leap into asparagus farming after hearing a mention on Radio 4. What started with a single acre planted in the kitchen sink has now expanded to around 20 acres of hand-picked asparagus and their popular annual Asparagus Festival.
In 1980, they introduced pick your own strawberries, and today, visitors can also pick gooseberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Their produce is available at the farm gate, in local farm shops, and through various retailers and wholesalers. Everything is carefully picked, graded, packed, and delivered by the family, ensuring top quality from field to table.

In 2015, Meales opened Vera’s Coffee Shop, named after Allen’s wife, which serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and homemade cakes using farm-fresh and locally sourced ingredients. You can also pick up their baked goods in the Farm Shop.
