Daylesford Organic Farm, Gloucestershire

I visited Daylesford Organic Farm on the occasion of their recent summer Open day, mainly because my sister wanted to go and my nephew works there. The farm has a fairly high publicity profile, being featured on the ITV “Saturday Farm” cookery series. Daylesford farms several thousand acres in Gloucestershire and had herds of cattle and sheep including rare breeds. There is also a market garden. At the farm site are several retail outlets including a delicatessen, cafe and other onsite facilities such as a health spa and couture shop. One has only to glance at the buildings to see that a lot of money has been invested here (Daylesford is backed by the Bamford (JCB) empire). Don’t come here if you are looking for BOGOF bargains – the food is priced for people who have loads of money, or want to give themselves a pesticide-free treat.
For details of what they do, and the various associated companies and outlets, check their website.
