Thyme Again Gardens in Food and Travel UK
For an area so renowned for its association with the canned food industry, it’s fitting that this farming community is now offering the quickest route in farm-to-fork eating around. Take, for instance, Thyme Again Gardens, a bed and breakfast in the east of the county, run by Lori and Lorraine. They share their 40ha with cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, a donkey, a llama and Clyde the dog. Offering just three rooms in their home, they serve up one of the best breakfasts around – with current and former farm residents helping to provide key ingredients. ‘We try to keep as much bacon as we can for the bed and breakfast,’ confirms Lori, ‘but there’s been a big, big call for the bacon lately.’
