About Our Farm

Standfield Hall is a fully organic 62 acre farm on which we grow vegetables, wheat and grass to the standards of the Soil Association. We also have organic cattle which provide our organic beef.

Growing organic means that we do not use any artificial fertiliser, insecticides, herbicides or fungicides. Instead we rely on feeding the soil with compost made from our own farm produced manure, green manures (such as rye) and natural minerals (such as rock phosphate).

Pests and diseases are kept under control by using a proper rotation, encouraging natural predators and the occasional use of biological control.

We started growing Organic in 1982 because we had become concerned at the direction being taken by British Farming whereby EC Policy supprted growing more and more food at any cost to the countryside, farm animals and environment.

Many people are becoming concerned about chemical residues and GMO's in food (particularly in vegetables and salads) and also about the damage caused to the environment by chemical fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides.

Organic methods do not harm the environment and they produce food free from residues - guaranteed GMO free.
