We're mixed farmers growing beef, apples & grain - the cattle eat the grass and apple pomace, the straw from our wheat is used to bed the cattle, the muck is spread on the fields to help improve the soils and feed the crops.
A virtuous circle, allowing us to improve the soils and grow more delicious, sustainable food. Including dry aged beef from our slow grown Sussex crossed Wagyu cattle, cider from our traditional cider apple orchard and a diverse population wheat, grown with minimal intervention.
We farm for flavour, and were delighted to have been a finalist for the Sustainable Food Made Good Supplier of the Year Award 2016 and winner of the Sussex Food and Drink Awards Farmers of the Year 2017. Rachel was a grand finalist for the Young Sussex Farmer of the Year in 2019, and we have won a two star Great Taste Award for Silly Moo Cider.
