The Farm
Frensham Market Farm is a 3.5 acre market garden in east Hampshire in between Farnham Haslemere and Bordon. We are a CSA farm growing mainly for veg boxes but we also do a bit of wholesale and a farmers market on the side. We currently have 85 CSA customers, looking to expand to 100 customers in 2026. The CSA runs February to December and we grow over 90% of the veg that goes into the boxes, so a wide variety throughout the year. We also grow veg for a local food bank that we aim to deliver to every week. We have over 900m² of covered growing space split between 4 polytunnels and a caterpillar tunnel. We grow on fixed beds currently without a tractor, but plan to have a compact tractor for the main 2026 season.
