Stanbridge Farms

  • The consequences of an unplanned wall collapse…

    Sometimes a potential disaster delivers something awesome…

    On Thursday there was a wall either side of this chimney.  We haven’t contemplated taking it down.  Then it fell over and look at the result.

    We are definitely keeping it this way.  It makes the whole property more open, lighter and sorts out some challenges with the levels too.

    I am so grateful for the flexible and imaginative nature of our building team, particularly Darren and Lee.  Professionals who work to a goal not a brief.  People who are proud of what they do and value the freedom.

    This place will be awesome!

  • What are we up to?

    What are we up to?

    Is anyone interested in our journey? I’ve had enough conversations with people in the brewery and walkers through the years to realise that people are interested in whats going on. More importantly they are much more receptive to farming challenges if they know why something is happening, the timing etc. So, I thought it was time to put something together…

    My thinking is that I can put QR codes around the farm and can link to this page. I will put a link to which crops are where, indicate whats going on at the farm and try to keep people up to date with our general progress. As well as helping others understand what events are happening.

    Obviously, feedback is important so if you see something you like, let me know. Equally if you have a question please do comment so that we can respond or possibly write about it.

    I look forward to hearing from you.
