The name Eggs to Apples comes from the Latin phrase Ab ovo usque ad mala, literally translated as “from egg to apples”, meaning from the start of the meal to the end. Eggs to Apples offers the feel of an outdoor market in a beautiful and environmentally focused indoor space. As Susannah Hewett, one of the shop’s owners puts it, “Eggs to Apples is the farm shop come of age. This is about the full basket shop and allowing our customers to buy everything they need to cook and eat fantastic food using high quality, affordable and where possible locally-sourced produce from within Kent and Sussex.” More than 10,000 schoolchildren a year come to Butser for visits to their really old past. There are several areas for hands-on instruction in archaeology, including a forest of tree stumps and rough wooden mallets, for breaking white chalk into fine powder for whitewash. Kids really get into smashing that soft limestone.

West Dean Stores sell high quality local produce and offer a lifeline to many local people. The shop also has a tearoom that sells reputedly delicious cakes.There are two houses based on excavations from nearby Chalton Saxon Village. [7] Chalton A2 was constructed in 2017 and the house is primarily made of English oak, sweet chestnut and hazel, all sourced from local coppiced woodlands. The roof is panelled wattle hurdles into which the wheat straw thatch was laid using hazel spars to hold it in place. The timber beams were hand hewn and the posts earth fastened into the ground. No nails or screws were used apart from in the Har-hung doors, and the beams are fixed using dovetail joints secured with trunnels. The premise is simple. Archaeological excavations yield artifacts of Britain’s Celtic and Roman past. And archaeologists come to conclusions about life 2,000 years ago on the basis of their discoveries. Here at Butser Ancient Farm, they take the findings of archaeology one step further, and put the suggested hypotheses to the test. This newly-opened shop is a member of the Guild of Fine Foods. They will focus on fresh, local and seasonal food based on the key principles of quality, traceability and affordability, while at the same time keeping up with global food trends. At the center of the farm, the Great Roundhouse is based on an excavation made at Little Woodbury, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. There have been several great roundhouses at Butser, as over the years fresh discoveries are being made about their construction and maintenance. The Little Wood bury roundhouse was just completed last year. With a diameter of 49 feet, it encloses more than 1,700 square feet of floor space and supports a roof weighing more than 25 tons. Those Celts were no flimsy builders; such great houses were built to last 200 years. Following the dismantling of the 'Longbridge Deverell House', the replacement is based on the excavations of the roundhouse at Little Woodbury in Wiltshire. Under the leadership of David Freeman, construction started in February 2007 and finished in December, having gone through one of the wettest summers on record.

Butser Ancient Farm at 50: celebrating half a century of experimental archaeology. Current Archaeology issue 389, August 2022 Opened in 2001, Sharnfold Farm Shop has built a loyal customer base, who nominated it as the Sussex Food Shop of the Year at the 2016 Sussex Food and Drink Awards. It was also in 2006 that the 'Longbridge Deverell House' started to collapse, and prompted a programme of redevelopment of the constructions across the farm. A major re-assessment of the techniques of building was undertaken. It was decided to use the opportunity to examine the accumulated information of a further 20 years of excavation evidence. [ citation needed]Elsewhere across the farm enclosure other students are learning to weave long, flexible poles into fencing. In more recent years, the study of buildings has become a key component of the farm’s research. Each building on display to the public today represents the conclusion of an experiment, conducted in response to theoretical hypotheses about archaeological features found in excavation, about construction methods and techniques, or a combination of these.
