What a great find! Is it open to the public or did you arrange access?

I think 8 is my favourite! Like the short dof.

3 is weirdly interesting Nice light on the pots.

I do like the classic rows view in 1, 6 and 10, but unfortunately the sky has let them down a bit IMO.

The farm is only a few miles from me and, of course, that means I have never been there. £4 entry I believe.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Yes the farm is open to the public 7 days a week, around 10am to about 5/6pm I think. The sky was awful yesterday unfortunately, would of loved some fluffy clouds instead of the blanket/whiteout we had.

Nifty, thanks both of you. About an hour away from me, might have to nip over there one day.

Love the rows disappearing into the distance, and the close up
