Fresh, organic eggs at Martleaves farm

The chickens are currently very productive so if you're passing call by and pick up some uber fresh locally produced eggs (x10 for £2). And maybe some marmalade…

Martleaves Farm Campsite is located between Weymouth and Portland in Dorset on the stunning Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Set in 34 acres of glorious countryside, this is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) and a haven for nature lovers and bird watchers. 
Nestling on the coastline adjacent to the world famous Chesil Beach we are lucky enough to have all the benefits of the rural countryside, the nearby seaside town of Weymouth, and Portland, the site of the 2012 Olympics. (more)

Fresh crab from the Fleet Lagoon at Martleaves campsite

We have the Fleet Saltwater Estuary just 300 metres from the farm, and across the Lagoon is Chesil Beach, approximately 17 miles long, all of which is fishable but some areas are out-of-bounds as they are part of a nature reserve. It extends from Chesil Cove in the east to Bridport Harbour. The beach slopes very steeply especially at the eastern end.

During late spring and early summer, mackerel shoal along the whole of the beach in great numbers. Most people target them with a feather rig which can be bought cheaply from all tackle stores. Mackerel are most easily caught during daylight in calm weather and can come very close to the shore as dusk approaches.(more)
