Yatesbury Organic Farm is a 600 hectare family farm and is farmed with the deep-rooted belief that farming should work together with nature. Biodynamic methods are a key part of achieving sustainable, natural and quality food.
Organic vegetables supply the farm's vegetable box scheme. Arable crops include wheat, rye and field beans. The cereals are sold for processing into the famous Dove’s Farm organic flour in Hungerford. Livestock include Aberdeen Angus beef cattle.
The farm is rich in wildlife ancient woodland with bluebells and orchids. Deer, hares, buzzards and partridges can also be found. Farmland birds, butterflies and bees help with pollination. Some of the bees work hard to produce the farm's delicious honey. Ladybirds help to keep pests at bay and owls and bats find shelter in the barns.
How to book:
The farm is open all year round. School visits are free and must be pre-booked.
