The farm is the backbone of the business. 

Not only does it provide fresh produce for the farm shop, we also supply quality produce which ends up in Waitrose's and other quality outlets. To do this we comply with 'LEAF' regulations which looks at the relationship between wildlife and farming. 

We grow  Jerusalem Artichokes and sell them as game cover seed throughout the country.

It is the farms policy to encourage wildlife wherever possible and to farm sympathetically. This means we have to consider whether or not a certain process would be disturbing wildlife. Where we can we work around wildlife and spray only where and when necessary.

With the fishing lakes within the farm, this helps create a haven for wildlife.

In the summer of 2007 we had 6 breeding pairs of  birds from the 'at risk' category according to the RSPB. One pair was extremely rare.

In addition we had many more common birds making the farm their home, including Lapwings and Cuckoos.
