Our Story

 
 

fine food

producers and purveyors

since 1923

 

We are a family business in the heart of our community and we’ve been practising sustainable, socially conscious farming long before it became fashionable. 

“We are a diversified, grass-based, direct marketing, zero chemical fertiliser & pesticide, family run farm”

Everything we produce is sold straight to the consumer through our farm shop or to a handful of very local pubs, restaurants & butchers.

Our journey to a more sustainable method of farming continues but now falls under the trendy new term of regenerative agriculture. We’ve been farming this way for well over a decade now but there’s still so much more we can do to turn the tide and bring us back in harmony with nature. We are restoring, improving and future proofing the entire ecosystem of this farm instead of simply working it to the maximum yield.

“Our family have been farming here in East Coker since 1923 and the farm still has three generations living on it today”

We aim to farm in a way that promotes the environment around us, produces tastier and healthier food and re-connects the consumer with the farmer.  This means that we don’t do things conventionally.  We do not use chemical fertiliser or pesticides nor do we routinely medicate our livestock.

We farm Cattle, pigs, sheep and free range chickens and ducks for eggs as well as free range geese. All of our animals are hand reared and fed a healthy, natural grass based diet free from growth promoters or routine medication.
