This old Ferguson is a feature of the farmyard of Jacob’s Farm Shop. Image is a vestige of Haybridge’s agricultural past. It is a few acres of greenish oasis surrounded by houses. Much of the produce in the shop is local if not actually produced on the farm. I am fairly convinced the livestock cows, ducks, chickens etc, are more of an attractive advert than a commercial proposition. The place is quaint and honest, long may it keep Tesco at bay!
