“Roddy believes strongly that his holding now organic for over 21 years is contributing tremendously towards the environment and wildlife and biodiversity.”

The Farm is involved in the countryside stewardship scheme, a government scheme which gives payment to allow the areas of the farm to be left for wildlife to flourish. Enterprises on the farm include vegetable production, livestock, a pedigree herd of Hereford cattle, Turkeys, geese and a holiday cottage. There is also a very beautify traditional barn that is used for parties, from soup tasting to Weddings & special birthdays. (Available to hire, contact Roddy for more details bickhambarn.co.uk)

Roddy’s main crops are spinach, chards, (of various colours) and kales including curly green and red, black kale. Using the poly tunnels he has, Roddy is able to start his season long before most other growers, so is often our first supplier on new season greens. He also grows tomatoes and broad beans.
