It's not just Home Farm at Wimpole
Surrounding our grade 1 parkland and SSSI woods, is our 1,000 acre organic arable farm. On this farm, we aim to produce food and promote wildlife at the same time, and we love to show it off.
All the farming operations are completed by our own arable team, and the farm is one of the only organic farms in the area. We produce wheat, rye and spelt for organic breads, oats for organic porridge and barley for organic beer.
In addition to this, we have pastures, full of a range of plants which add fertility to our soil so that we do not have to apply fertilisers. Our chickens and sheep graze these pastures and they also provide the feed for the cows throughout the winter.
Our arable farm spreads across a large part of the estate and has a diverse range of soils, from chalky slopes to heavy clays. We aim to enhance the capability and resilience of these soils through nature friendly farming practices.
