Wildacre Farm

Our story

Farming the slow way

Two people, one tired field and a stubborn idea that food should taste like where it came from.

A farmer in a field

Pasture first. Everything else follows.

Our animals move to fresh grass every few days. They fertilise the fields, the fields feed the vegetables, and the vegetable scraps go back to the hens. It's an old way of farming, and it's slower — but you can taste it.

We never use synthetic fertilisers or routine antibiotics, and we sell almost everything within a few miles of where it was raised.

Since 2014

2014

The first season

A borrowed tractor, a dozen hens and a stand at the end of the driveway.

2016

The flock arrives

Heritage sheep join the rotation and start rebuilding the soil.

2019

The farm store

A real store in the old barn, open four days a week.

Today

Thirty acres

Sheep, pigs, hens, a big vegetable garden — and a weekly farm share.
