Our MD’s career in growing strawberries means there is a wealth of agricultural experience put into our farm. This allows us to still develop year on year providing visitors with the fundamental crops they have grown to expect from us.

Over the past few years we have begun to evolve on certain growing methods and techniques to make the farm run more efficiently and maintained more easily. The main example of this is our table top strawberries. We have grown raised beds of strawberries for many years, however, in late 2018 we installed our first plots of table top strawberries. These sit roughly 4 feet off the ground and make the whole process of strawberry farming much easier from planting to harvesting. Having the strawberries raised in this way also aids in limiting the diseases they can catch, treating them regularly and of course for those on PYO. We now have nearly 7 kilometres of strawberry tables.

Although strawberries are our main crop, we have grown quite the reputation for our pumpkins. Our years of experience & knowledge of growing techniques, give the pumpkins the nutrients they need to grow big and vibrant for carving, whilst stay fresh and juicy for cooking.

In addition to the physical farming of fruit and vegetables on this site we also do hold ourselves responsible as custodians of the countryside and actively encourage a plethora of wildlife by planting unused farming space with clover & wild flowers, and are investigating the practicalities of housing bees on our land.

We also farm natural resources such as sunlight. In our “Bridge Field” there are 360 solar panels which as well as feeding into energy of the business, also feed back into the national grid. Obviously, this can be seasonal due to daylight we get all year round.
