Established
in 2005, we are Natural
Agriculture™
growers of English and Japanese vegetables herbs and fruit.
Based in Lewes, in the county of East Sussex, England, we were among the first growers in the UK to pioneer the agroforestry method known as 'alley cropping' and to attempt to use conservation biological control in a commercial free-of-subsidy setting. After 18 years we still use no pesticides, no fungicides and no herbicides - not even the approved organic chemicals. In this our 13th year of setting up the alley cropping system it is still in it's infancy as we try to propagate trees that will both thrive in the range of soils nature has given us and that will provide an in-demand product at a competitive price for the consumer. From bare fields, in 13 years nature has created a 21-acre self-seeded woodland of willow, oak, hornbeam, aspen and ash - several thousand trees, none planted by man or woman. The vast majority of our crops are grown outside for a nutrition and flavour boost from nature's harsh environment. Although our 'slow-food' methods mean a shorter growing season the result is a taste second to none and a shelf-life many times longer than much shop or wholesaler-sourced produce. We do not buy in from other growers or wholesalers – everything we supply is grown by us on our land. Our pre-dawn harvests ensure customers receive produce that is only 2 to 12 hours from being picked, this freshness again ensuring maximum nutrition, taste and shelf-life. From ashitaba to yuzu, alehoof to wild carrots we grow a wide range of English and Japanese vegetables together with an increasing variety of fruit. We specialise in sweet eat-off-the-bush blackcurrants and gooseberries, a range of lesser-known bush fruits such as aronia, boysenberry, haskap, Japanese quince, saskatoon, sea buckthorn and tayberry and have some 150 fruit trees just starting to produce. The year 2016 gave us our first crop of yuzu and in 2017 we harvested our first nashi asian pears. Now, in 2023, we are offering English and Japanese vegetables for chefs and local home delivery with probably the best flavour and nutrition in England, harvested within hours of receipt.
