Here at Sorrel Farm, we specialise in naturally grown, seasonal Shropshire salads and leafy greens.
About Us
Our farm
I am happy to announce that Sorrel Farm has moved.
2022 will be our first year at a new site just outside Bridgnorth. After a successful trial last year growing produce from our rather limiting domestic gardens in the Telford, we have now moved to a more spacious field where we can expand and grow even more fresh and delicious crops.
We specialise in homegrown, fresh, nutrient-rich, Shropshire salads that are packed full of flavour. This flavour changes with the seasons, allowing us to provide you with an ever-changing variety of leaves and textures throughout the year.
The challenge for us in our small scale growing is to be as productive as possible. Not wanting to waste a single inch of space, we are implementing intensive no-dig growing methods inspired by numerous organic market gardens around the world.
Our farming endeavours may be small but we are exceptionally passionate about growing sustainable food. This year will are continuing our focus on growing delicious mixed salads and leafy greens whilst trailing a few firm vegetable favourites amongst the leaves.
Food sovereignty
We believe in food systems that allow communities to be in control of their food production, creating a sustainable model that is better for people and the environment.
Here at Sorrel Farm, we provide quality, clean, chemical-free vegetables for our local community.
Our food is grown organically whilst caring for our soil and ecology by not digging. This allows for natural organisms to thrive, increasing the soil's overall health and therefore that of our plants and those that eat them.
You can feel confident that your salad from us is not only healthy and nutritious but also is enriching the local natural environment.
Who we are
Hello, my name is Heather. I am the grower here at Sorrel Farm. For the past decade, I have worked as a kitchen gardener to Michelin star chefs across the country.
For my family and I, the world's recent troubles have highlighted the fragility and unsustainability of our current global food systems. Local food must become more prevalent if we are to withstand and adapt to climate change and possible future turmoil. We asked ourselves, what can we do and how can we help to create a more resilient world for our daughter? And so, Sorrel Farm was born. Out of concern, yes, but more out of positivity. A hope that the future will become more focused on local small-scale farms and market gardens passionate about providing clean, healthy, sustainable food. An essential change needed for our children and grandchildren.
