How We Grow
Our market garden - sited in the middle of a beautiful, biodiverse hay meadow full of insects and butterflies - uses regenerative farming methods that improve the soil, capture carbon and maintain biodiversity, while producing healthy, fresh and delicious food. We use only Soil Association-approved organic fertilisers, deliver plastic-free, and source all our materials as locally as possible. Our ultimate goal is to create a truly sustainable closed-loop system, producing environmentally friendly food which you can feel good about eating!
Balancing nature with production is the hardest part of organic growing. In our system we rely on insects and wildife to maintain a working ecosystem
The surrounding hay meadow helps with this but wildife corridors, beetle banks, nearby ponds, woodlands and even hedgerows all play their part. In the long term we aim to create a silovpasture hay meadow using oak trees and ponds to maximise the biodiversty around our farm.
We also focus on the biodiversity in the soil, using a no dig growing system, frequent green manure cover crops along with compost teas. Our soil will be slowly improving and capturing carbon all while produing healthy food.
