About

Our Farm

Tucked into the south west corner of Wiltshire is our rolling organic farm that spreads across 2,600 acres. Set upon ancient chalk downland, Pertwood was purely a sheep farm until like many farms, the outbreak of WWII brought the need to plough up more land for food. Since then Pertwood has operated a classic mixed organic farming programme of grains, legumes, and grass leys grazed by sheep and beef cattle.

Organic works – We’ve proven it!

We have been an organic farm for more than thirty years. Our yields are consistently competitive with many agri-chemical farms. How do we do it?
