Mission and values: “We envision an inspiring and resilient permaculture farm where humans work harmoniously with Nature and each other, co-creating a regenerative culture fit for the next seven generations and beyond.”
They know they have a responsibility to regenerate their land, so practice regenerative farming and strive to apply the best agro-ecological practices. They cultivate with awareness of soil health and life and have a no-dig market garden where we bring-in compost and woodchip. They practice crop rotation, succession and plant various green manures to bring back organic matter and activate soil biology.
They also host a honey beekeeper on site and have planted wildflower strips, built bird boxes and their solar barn is under way too!
Location: Broadmoor Ln, Bath BA1 4LJ (9.7 miles from Better Food).
We love them because… They started with a simple idea, growing food to supply 1 whole food shop and a few families, which is now 12 outlets and over 200 households! They always strive to find a middle ground to navigate the shift between the old and the new and pioneer and explore new ways of farming and connecting to their land.
