Who we are
About the farm
We run our 210-acre (about 85 ha) biodynamic farm behind the sea wall on the Blackwater Estuary near Goldhanger, Essex, as a community-owned charitable society, working alongside adults with learning disabilities as a social farm. We produce Demeter-certified vegetables and fruit, grass-fed meat from rare-breed Shetland cattle and North Ronaldsay sheep, eggs, and certified organic undyed knitting yarn and sheepskins. Our two-acre vegetable garden supplies a weekly veg bag scheme, and we sell at several farmers' markets each month, including our own farm market. We hold open days, school visits and educational farm walks, and welcome volunteers.

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.
