We specialise in producing a diverse range of high-quality crops including many unusual varieties.

We cultivate a range of perennials, have planted a 20 acreagroforestry site, integrate mob grazing of sheep, and have built a complex rotation including green manures in each of our fields to build soil organic matter. In September of 2027 we will attain our Biodynamic certification.
The majority of our produce is sold directly to restaurants, independent shops, florist and bakeries as well as wholesale buyers, our own farm shop and to customers through our seasonal veg box scheme.
