Our
underlying goal is to produce healthier food whilst reducing our
reliance and usage of chemicals for the benefit of our customers
and the environment. The activities on the farm fall under three
main areas: farming, contract farming and livestock . We also run 4 holiday cottage lets on our farm near Ambleside in the Lake District. click here to visit www.grovecottages.com for full details.
Farming
Still the core activity after 118 years! We grow
a wide range of combinable crops including wheat, barley and oats.
We also specialise in growing Chantenay
Carrots for the fresh produce markets.
After many years in decline, livestock has made a comeback! Max
is managing the introduction of a herd of pedigree Aberdeen
Angus - read all about our cattle here. In 2008 we acquired Grove Farm in the Lake District, which complements our drought-prone grassland in Nottinghamshire.
