Farm Background: Farm is 60 acres and the main enterprise is horticulture. Established 25yrs ago from 1 acres of veg and 1 polytunnel to 10 acres veg and 9 polytunnels. Wide range of veg first sold through co-op, box scheme, very basic farm shop open weekends only. Now more sophisticated farm shop, cafe and gallery. 18 acres of woodland and let out fields to a 3 week long camp. Did have beef. Selling Wholesale to Langridge in London. Emphasizing growing the business organically (not just the veg) and always being inovative but keeping it managable and profitable. Never relying on one market sector in a small business. Always having an acre of raised beds and tunnels so that whatever the weather something can be planted and harvested. It is a low input business.
