Growing agroecologically mean that the ecosystem of the whole farm is central to how the business is operated, so while they are not organically certified, the principals guiding the way they farm and grow are organic. They say: "We grow on a human-scale without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers and follow methods that enrich and regenerate biodiversity and soil fertility. We are currently transitioning to a deep mulch or 'no-dig' system throughout the farm, meaning we will no longer cultivate the soil, in order to preserve and enhance soil health for greater crop health. We experiment a lot and are always trying new methods, whether to improve the ecological impact of the farm, to save on labour or time, or to get the most flavour and nutrition out of the food we grow. We believe everyone should have access to local, sustainably produced food that enhances the wider ecosystem rather than degrades it."
