Who we are
About the farm
We are Catherine and James Dampier; we opened our first farm shop on Coles Lane in Ockley in spring 2007, and our second operates at Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking, combining a farm shop, deli and plant centre. At Ockley we grow salads, cabbages, squashes, peppers, beans, chard, spinach and herbs on a one-acre field (about 0.4 ha) and in a polytunnel without artificial fertilisers, insecticides or pesticides, harvest our own honey in the Bee Garden, and grow cut flowers at Denbies. Alongside our own produce, our shops stock goods from more than 60 local producers within 20 miles; our Friday veg bags are delivered locally or can be collected from either shop, and each year we hold food fairs, an Apple Day and pumpkin picking.

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.
