How we farm

On our four acres we grow as wide a variety of vegetables, salad, herbs and fruit as possible following agroecological principles. That means that we think about the ecosystem of the farm as a whole; following organic methods without being certified.

​We grow on a human-scale without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers and follow methods that enrich and regenerate biodiversity and soil fertility. We are currently transitioning to a deep mulch or 'no-dig' system throughout the farm, meaning we will no longer cultivate the soil, in order to preserve and enhance soil health for greater crop health.

We experiment a lot and are always trying new methods, whether to improve the ecological impact of the farm, to save on labour and/or time or to get the most flavour and nutrition out of the food we grow
