Who we are
About the farm
On our family-run farm at Heltondale near Penrith, in the Lake District National Park, we have been making peat-free composts for nearly 30 years from bracken harvested on the fells, British sheep's wool and comfrey grown here on the farm. Our Whitefaced Woodland and Cheviot sheep flocks graze the bracken-covered fells up to Loadpot alongside our herd of native Fell ponies. Our composts are Soil Association approved for organic growing; we deliver to mainland UK from our online shop, and they are also sold through stockists.

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.
