The animals

We have Great Taste Award winning turkeys available to buy directly from the farm. Our turkeys are a mixture of Norfolk Blacks and Bronzes they are (very) free range and slowly grown. Are they organic though? As good as, we are in our 2nd year of official conversion to organic and the turkeys are fed organic feed.

The land

The Inkpot is an 18 acre field working farm which is a demonstration site of permaculture design. It has been home to Hannah Thorogood and family since September 2010 and since that time much observing and designing has gone on. Some projects have been implemented such as the planting of 3000 trees in shelter belts, long-term timber and coppice areas, the vegetable beds, poultry and the holistic grazing of cows and sheep. Organic, PFLA certified and Holistically managed.
