Hamptonne is the oldest farm in jersey it was purchased in 1633. it is an old thatched house with smaller houses and animal pens surrounding it.

The farm makes cider and have there own orchid which you can walk around. The trees in the orchid were chosen for their bitter and sweet tastes to combine together to make a cider which is perfectly mixed of flavours.

Every year Hamptonne prepares for their cider making festival called ‘La Faîs’sie d’Cidre‘ by collecting the apples from their orchard. They offer apple picking sessions throughout the first 2 weekends of October however are limited with the amount of people they can allow per session due to its popularity.

A local photographer, Tom Kennedy, uses natural light in order to make painting-like photos that are similar to the work of 17th Century painters. He’s visits Hamptonne and has photographed there multiple times. He wants people to reflect on their own lives and hopes to move people with his work.
