What we produce
We grow a wide variety of fruit and veg, salads, microgreens, chillies and herbs.
We believe that as regenerative farmers our locally grown produce exceeds organic standards and we do not use any non-organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides on our produce or our land.
Our small plant nursery provides a selection of annual and perennial plants, and house plants.
In addition to growing produce we host several bee hives that are looked after by friends from the local Syrian community.
Regenerative farming - better than organic!
We are passionate about adopting regenerative farming practices; our locally grown produce is grown with no artificial fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides and we use only peat-free compost. We’re also building soil health and encouraging biodiversity on our land by creating our own mulch and compost.
Regenerative farming is not a new term – or at least not a new practice. In fact, the practice is thousands of years old, practiced by indigenous peoples – including those of our own land, but lost over time as property rights became enshrined and enforced in law, and in more recent times as the industrialisation of agriculture has gathered pace.
As well as being a set of principles and practices, regenerative farming is a journey on which we continually learn and experiment and ultimately improve our practice, helping to revert some of the damage that humans have inadvertently wreaked on our planet in the name of growth. We’ve been on this journey for the past five years, and we’re still learning and experimenting.
