Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Stanger, a small settlement in the Lorton Valley in West Cumbria, between Cockermouth and Lorton: we have been market gardening for more than 25 years, and at Low Stanger since 2006. On around 3 acres of organic market garden we grow a wide range of vegetables, our orchards hold about 340 apple trees of 80 varieties, and on our pasture and hay meadows we keep a small herd of Angus cattle and a breeding flock of Suffolk cross sheep; all our produce is certified organic by the Soil Association. We sell our vegetables and apples through our seasonal box scheme (running since 1997) and at the farm gate, graft apple trees to order, offer a two-bedroomed self-catering cottage attached to the farmhouse, and host educational visits for schools and groups.

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.
