We are a small-scale specialist organic fruit
growers (Soil Association registered) producing
small quantities of a range of fruits. Our aim is to
grow produce to maximise flavour and to encourage
the wider use of fruit as part of a healthy
lifestyle. To ensure optimum nutritional content is
preserved, we only supply freshly picked to order or
to local farmers' markets.
Linked to this enterprise is a nursery producing
fruit trees and bushes for garden/orchard planting.
Although not under organic registration, these
plants are fully integrated into our organic system
and nurtured similarly. The best of traditional and
modern varieties are grown which perform well under
organic cultivation methods in Wales and Border
counties. (Trained and specimen plants are
available).
Habitat enhancement and diversity are actively
managed to encourage natural balance within the
holding.
For the woodland plant enthusiast, there is also a
specialist nursery (Llangunville Farm Nursery) being
developed in tandem with our own 2.5 acre garden on
the wooded slopes of the Monnow Valley. Here we aim
to offer a diverse range of trees, shrubs and other
plants to suit various soil types and aspects,
particularly ones which will thrive in the damper
climate of the western parts of England and Wales.
We stock an expanding range of composts, soil
conditioners and biodegradable pots (used in the
Nursery) and sundries which we have found useful and
believe may be of interest to fellow gardeners.
Please note the nursery is open only by appointment.
