Who we are
About the farm
We are Martin and Kate Bankes: our farm in the Toadsmoor Valley near Bisley has been in the family for 60 years and has grown to 320 acres (about 130 ha) of species-rich grassland, 16 copses and woodland, and arable land producing wheat, barley and straw. All the feed for our pedigree Welsh Black beef herd comes from the farm; we have farmed 'regeneratively' with rotations from the start, and we sell some of our beef on request. In our restored stone barn we host seasonal feast nights featuring our own beef, and we also offer a family holiday farmhouse, camping, school outdoor-learning visits, a family open day and wellbeing events.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
