Our farming philosophy has developed over the years through a passion for custodianship of land and country, rather than ownership. We intend to regenerate our small patch of soil by focusing first and foremost on soil health, which in turn leads to a healthy farm, healthy business and finally, happy and healthy farmers.

Regenerating our soil is achieved by minimal disturbance of the soil structure (minimal tillage), feeding nutrience back into the soil by growing green manure crops throughout the seasons, adding compost from local suppliers during our bed preparations, growing on permanent beds, using crop rotation techniques where possible, incorporating spent crops back into the soil (via minimal soil disturbance techniques) and finally, growing without the use of synthetic fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides.

At our new farm site, we have started planting native hedgerows around the border of the farm, as well as olive and fruit trees, to help support a healthy ecosystem within the farm by creating habitat for our local wildlife.

Farming 'bio-diversely' allows us to grow a wide variety of seasonal vegetables in a relatively small space. Growing a polycutlure of plants is so important for healthy a ecosystem but also for us as farmers and lovers of food.

We hope that when we leave this land, we will have left a legacy of kindness, respect and love for the land and the creatures on and within it.

Tread lightly folks!
