Huntstile Organic Farm





LOCAL ORGANIC PRODUCE.

This is a beautiful area, with rolling hills and panoramic views across the county. We have our own Stone Circle, spring-fed lake & woods to explore. We grow a variety of vegetables, soft fruit, herbs, flowers and combinable crops like wheat, barley, oats and peas on over 700 acres of organic land. We also have a small herd of British White Cattle that produce very good beef & a flock of organic chickens that lay the most delicious free-range eggs in the world (probably).

John's father began farming at Huntstile in 1951. John was born in this very farmhouse along with 3 of his 4 sisters. Parts of the farmhouse date back to Henry VIII and we are rumoured to have our very own resident lady ghost, although we have never seen her ourselves.

We are both passionate about locally grown, well-produced, quality food - our lives revolve around it. Eating together is important! Preparing, cooking and sharing good food with our friends and family is one of our favourite ways to spend time.

We have a small herd of British White cattle - dating back to 1400's, they were the first registered pedigree herd in England!

British Whites are very pretty, gentle white cows with black noses, ears & socks.

Being a traditional breed, they like to take their time to mature. The beef will be certified as organic (with the Soil Association) in September 2007 and we already feed them on a natural, homegrown diet - there are no GMO's - ever (we think they are very, very bad) and all the beef has full traceability.

The cows spend all spring & summer grazing on the lush pasture in the clover meadows here at Huntstile; theyget a bit chilly in the winter so we bring them indoors on straw beds and feed them on homegrown hay and silage cut from the clover meadows, oats & barley, they like that. Because the cattle are well farmed and the meat is hung for just over three weeks, we produce marvelous flavoursome, tender beef of the very best quality.

We have a level area at the top of the farm garden that is very suitable caravans & tents. There are fantastic views across the countryside & many fine farm walks. There is a standpipe in the corner with fresh mains drinking water. We have a solar shower invention, which stays warm just long enough for a (very) quick shower (eco friendly soap only please*). There is a loo & hot shower around the back of the farmhouse, which is about 2 minutes walk. We also have toilet tents that you can hire if you require them. There is no electrical hook-up. This is a small site with only 5 pitches.
