Originally as a member of a commune, then tenant and now owner, Patrick Holden has been based at the farm since the early 70’s. In the early 80s, Patrick became increasingly involved with the organic movement, specifically the Soil Association – where he was Director until 2010. The Soil Association is the UK's leading environmental charity promoting sustainable, organic farming and championing human health. It was here he met his wife, Becky, who now runs the farm as well as bringing up their 4 young boys – William, Ben, Harry and James.
