Factory Surprise
At the end of October the group
visited the Thompson and Joseph building on Plumstead Rd where they were
surprised to find a thriving local business that has two distinct
operations. One is an agricultural monitoring and treatment service that
also imports specialist agrichemicals. The other is a jam and pickle
factory that produces high quality (we know we tasted them) and prize
winning produce under the name Norfolk Garden. you can buy their
products in Jarrolds, Morrisons, The forum, Tunstead Barns amongst other
outlets. They also make the Garden of Suffolk range for sale over the
border.
UPDATE the factory has now been
demolished and replaced by housing.
