From Jo Moser, the inspiration behind our Farm Producers Network
Some of you asked us for this list, you asked how you could support local environmentally friendly farmers – so here’s your opportunity to do so!

We have some wonderful farmers, producers and growers in the villages around Chulmleigh doing their bit for wildlife and the environment. Near Witheridge, with three farms pooling their experience and resources, we have the very first rewilding cluster in Britain! We have several leading lights in regenerative farming, doing their best to share their knowledge and promote the movement like Amy from Redwoods or Bella from Ashbarn. And smallholders like Lisa and her muddy wallow pigs. We have write ups on three farm shops which are supporting local farmers, including the newly opened Station Yard farm shop at Eggesford, (supporting local crafters as well as farmers) which many in Sustainable Chulmleigh consider their go to local shop. We have juices and cider, but as well as food and drink, you can find locally grown plants and flowers, wood cut from conservation woodlands, a compost toilet for your event or camping patch and even a green burial ground.

Some of our farmers are organic, some farm regeneratively, some are traditional farms starting their regenerative journey. Regenerative farming is all about looking after the health and fertility of the soil. Working with nature instead of fighting against it with an army of pesticides and fertilisers. For some farmers after years of over grazing and heavy investment in large machinery, its tough to turn the tide. To have smaller herds, moving around more often, choosing to grow a wide variety of plants rather than one monoculture. But slowly, with support more and more farmers are joining the movement. To find out more look at Amy’s website

These guys are mostly small family farms or smallholdings, and while they are custodians of the land, they are also trying to make a living. One of the hardest things for small farmers, working long days with their stock is marketing their produce to the public. In the last year many who started out, particularly our vegetable growers have struggled and sadly had to give up. By shopping locally and supporting your neighbouring farmers, you are also supporting your local wildlife.

Over to you.
