Our purpose remains steadfast: as stewards of the land and contributing to changing the global dialogue on food.
The farm facilitates engagement by offering a space for people to gather and learn about the origins of food.
We welcome our chef partners and other thought leaders in food to join us at the farm to share our views and practices on how to steward the land while still managing a working farm. Guests staying at the StoneHouse are granted a unique opportunity to engage as much or as little as they’d like in a working farm, and to interact with visiting chefs.
Maple Syrup
Maple Syrup is the first farming activity of the year and signals the beginning of spring. Family, friends, neighbours, and often the chefs we work with, gather in the sugar shack to catch up after the winter, share stories, and plan for the growing seasons ahead.
Garden
It started as our kitchen garden, growing flavourful heirloom vegetables and herbs we love to eat, grown in a way we are comfortable eating – without insecticides or herbicides. Using flowers to attract pollinators, and creating gardens separate from each other for crop rotation.
Livestock
We breed and raise heritage sheep and heritage pigs in accordance with animal welfare global standards. This includes our flocks of Cotswold and Shropshire heritage sheep and our Mangalitsa and Tamworth pig breeds. We also raise a small number of purebred Aberdeen Black Angus steers.
