Farm Organics ORGANIC &
LOCAL
Ripple Farm Organics Home Farm is a
small horticultural farm of 14 acres situated in the Stour
Valley, Kent at Crundale between Ashford and Canterbury. Our
fields slope up to the bottom slopes of the North Downs, giving
us light, chalky soils. These free draining soils, blessed by the
warmer climate of the Southeast, produce vegetables of great
taste and quality. As well as our Home Farm, we also rent a
Victorian Walled Garden at Olantigh near Wye and fields below Wye
Crown, including an old 'Spartan' orchard.
Ripple Farm has been certified Organic since
1989 and holds an Organic Symbol from the Soil Association. The
farm itself is essentially a market garden producing a wide range
of vegetables, salad, herbs and some soft fruit. With this
produce, Ripple Farm Organics runs a local box scheme and
supports Wye and Whitstable Farmers' Markets in Kent and
Stoke Newington farmers Market, London. We also supply specialist
organic/wholefood shops in London, Growing Communities Box
Scheme, London and a variety of shops, cafes and Pubs in
Kent.
