The Farm
Woodland Farm
Once part of an intensively grazed pasture, we are transforming a 4.5 acre plot into a nature-friendly smallholding using stock-free methods to produce delicious fruit and veg for the food stall.
SOMERSET
UNDERSTANDING
Stock-free Farming
Using nitrogen fixing legumes like clover, and organic compost made from willow wood-chip, we farm without livestock or animal inputs whilst building the fertility and health of our soil.
Doing this aligns with our ethical values, but also means we can grow an abundance of produce using less land, water and fossil fuel resources!

“I believe that food should be grown in ways that minimizes harm to nature and that small farms and regional markets are the future of sustainable food production globally.”
NURTURING
Our vision
Whilst we have already started to grow produce for the stall, we are also investing in the what the farm will look like in the long term – bringing more diversity with agroforestry rows, a forest garden, coppice and maybe even a wildlife pond one day!
