Growing
Led by seasoned grower and permaculturalist Claire Hannington-Williams, we use natural growing systems - with composts, mulches and fermented plant extracts feeding our soil and our plants on our single acre market garden plot.
Our produce is sold locally via our seasonal veg box subscription and local farm shops, our surplus used for our on-farm dinners.
Farming
Driven by lifelong organic farmer Tim Williams, our approach to farming has a strong focus on biological, and soil centric systems, working in harmony with the cycles of nature, and following an ecological mindset.
Although we’re organic by default, we consider our approach to be beyond organic drawing knowledge from the realms of permaculture, biodynamic and regenerative farming wisdom.
Learning
Our passion lies in sharing our knowledge, skills and experience with a new generation of farmers & growers.
Together we have over 20 years of practical hands-on farming & growing experience and through our sister organisation Earth Farmers, we support, educate and mentor others around biological and ecologically sound farming and growing systems.
