LOGIC for what it is

HOME for the rest

Brooke-Lynne Farm Beaumont, Essex.

At the farm shop where I go
they sell fantastic things they grow

and can amaze with what they know
of tilling Soil and tending Trees
of when to cut when best to leave
and on the arts of keeping Bees

and then as well if bake or boil
to peel off skin or wrap in foil
try some of this
and all of that from friendly chat
with people who dig what they sell

come and see the little Rabbits
pet or pot it's yours to choose
here to meet your fellow Creatures
way more direct than distant zoos

day on day on layered hay
Pigs root and grow fatter
fed on veg they have the edge
here where piggy things do matter
month in month out on year on year

a feast of goods assembled here
Seasonal means season in
for spree on Sprouting Broccoli
Strawberry with languid scent
are what for Summer's days are meant

Duck eggs or Goose can be bought loose
pick Chicken's from the freerange trayful
there's racks of Spuds
Asparagus buds Golly Cauliflowers
Jams and Pickles in towers
in a barn made of Wood
that is cared for and repaired

and looks really really good

Not a supermarket Packet
plastic bars and Cars and queues
Not a case of musak racket
more a place of Baas and Moos
