862.0. "Cluck...Cluck...Eggs in Basingstoke ?" by FORTY2::WILKINS (XMR Team - DTN (830) 6884) Fri Jun 23 1995 16:38

    Hi,
    
    I've tried a DIR/TITLE=EGGS in this conference, but I didn't
    find any entries...so here's a question for all Basingstoke
    types....
    
    Does anyone know of a farm near the Hatchwarren end of town that
    sells fresh eggs (free range of course) ?
    
    I have a hankering *8-)
    
    Thanks,
    	Kevin.

	Ahhhh...Hatch Warren - the 'land of a million streetlights'......

	I think you'll find that most residents get their 'Free Range'
	from Sainsbury's (If they can find the ailse location after the
	latest balls up!)

862.2Hmmm...FORTY2::WILKINSXMR Team - DTN (830) 6884Mon Jun 26 1995 14:157
	Yep...been there...tried that..etc.

	I mean real _fresh_ eggs not mass produced Sainsbury's free
	range variety.

	Cheers,
	Kevin.

    Try the farm shop on the B3400 Oakley road, about � a mile along
    from the railway bridge/Roman Way. It's on the right hand side,
    heading out of Basingstoke, towards Oakley.
    
    They are open Monday to Saturday, but only have stuff on display
    from about Wednesday to Saturday. I think the actual farm is 
    called Scrapps Hill Farm, buit it is part of the Manydown Estate.
    They sell a variety of meat & vegetables as well.
    
    I don't have the exact phone number, but the main Manydown number
    is 781270 and they should be able to re-direct you.

    There's a sign on the right of the A30 as you go to Winchester that
    advertises Free Range Eggs and points down a farm track, it is nearer
    to Winchester than Basingstoke from what I remember.
    
    The Spar in North Waltham has eggs from Manor Farm.  The box is hand
    written so I guess they'll be from the local Manor Farm.
