Situated
in the beautiful Dorset countryside not far from the famous
Jurassic Coast, Washingpool Farm sits on the end of a sand belt,
which runs from Somerset to the sea. Consequently the free draining
soil is perfect for growing vegetables, salads and soft fruit.
The
dairy herd was replaced in 2001 by a small herd of North Devon
beef cattle. Also to be found on the farm are Middle White cross
pigs, Polled Dorset cross sheep and some hens. These animals
play an important part in enriching the land.
The
farm shop (which replaced a small shed!) was completed in April
2000, enlarged in April 2003 and again in June 2006. The main
aim is to sell quality produce from local producers and businesses.
We believe food should be fresh, tasty and traceable.
Washingpool has since won:
