WEXCOMBE FARM
WORKING WITH NATURE
About Us
A new enterprise starting very soon.
Our pasture raised hens live on open pastures, following the cows, roaming freely with access to grass, insects, and sunlight. These hens live as nature intended, resulting in eggs that are richer in nutrients like omega-3s and vitamin D, with a taste that reflects the care and quality of their environment.
Our cows
A Hereford-Cross herd lives outside moving daily from paddock to paddock. A natural diet of grass and cover-crop forage ensures happy, healthy animals. Calves are born in April and remain in the herd with their mothers all year round.
Arable Cropping
We grow wheat (for milling and animal feed), barley (for malting), oats (for porridge) and oilseed rape (for industrial purposes including bio-fuel). We employ no-till methods to help protect and regenerate our soils.
Regenerative Agriculture
By allowing natural processes to co-exist within our farming systems, we are regenerating our soils' biodiversity and community. This means that we are moving away from the current industrial food system (that is bad for our health and for the planet) and towards a less chemical dependant existence. Read more...
Tulips
Grown here on the farm and available to buy in April - May, a stunning display of fresh tulips are picked and sold as hand tied bunches. We look forward to updating this page with information on availability in the Spring.
