Who we are
About the farm
We, Andrew and Sara Cross, have run Gold Hill near Child Okeford in Dorset since 1987, organically from the start: after turning the conventional dairy farm into a vegetable farm, we were one of the very first farms in the South West to gain organic status from the Soil Association. On about eight acres (about 3.2 ha) – minimum-tillage raised beds, eight polytunnels and field-scale plots – we grow over 80 varieties of vegetables and fruit. In our family shop in the farm courtyard, open all year from Thursday to Saturday, we sell vegetables picked that morning alongside local and organic products, and we take Christmas pre-orders.

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.
