In 1991
Lewis Winter and his family took up the tenancy of 20 acres of land in
Cossall on the Nottingham and Derby border. From then on this area of
land has been farmed to biodynamic standards, this year, 2008, we got
Demeter status, proof that we only farm to the highest standards.
Trinity Farm has a large variety of different land all in a small area,
from the land full of delicious, fresh, biodynamic vegetables and
salad, the grass land, a small copse is at the far end of the farm
bordered by a small allotment, producing apples and pears and plums all
of the best organic quality. There are also 7 polythene tunnels and a
large glasshouse; all of this makes trinity farm a well-rounded
sustainable farm for the future.
We grow a wide range of vegetables,
salads and fruits. We try to work to the philosophy that people should
be able to get fresh, healthy, organic food from an easy driving
distance as often as possible. With this in mind we strive to produce a
large variety of seasonal food for the whole year to supply our box
scheme and home delivery. We also import from other organic farms to
keep our range at a competitive level. On top of this we carry a whole
shop range of organic products from rice to dairy, bread, nuts and
cereal, basically what ever you need to stock up your kitchen and eat
like a king.
Trinity Farm is also a member of the WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on
Organic Farms); we have volunteers throughout the year from near and
far. Some live near by and come for one or 2 days week and others come
from all over the world to stay for a few weeks or several months.
These people come to learn a sustainable method of growing food for the
future. This gives Trinity Farm a truly community feel, a vibrant,
happy place and this can be seen in the quality of the food grown.
Trinity Farm also works a little with disabled and disadvantaged people
and is looking to do more of this in the future. Currently the plans
are going ahead and hopefully in the next few years we will have
regular visits from these people enlarging our community more.
So why not come and see us or get in touch and try our top quality
Demeter standard food today.
