The farm originated from humble beginnings when the current owners, Roger and Jane, purchased the derelict site in 1982. Roger is the fourth generation of his family to farm, originally as pig farmers, he proceeded to develop a fruit and vegetable farm. From selling home-grown produce at the gate, the farm has developed into an extensive and multiple award-winning farm shop. The shop's ethos is to sell high quality, home-grown and locally-sourced produce where possible. The farm also has a thriving plant nursery open all year and a Pick Your Own which opens during the Summer months. The farm has steadily grown over the years to become one of Buckinghamshire's largest Christmas tree growers, selling a range of varieties and sizes year on year. The farm is now home to The Wild Strawberry Café, which 'popped up' in 2014 in a Mongolian Yurt! The café prides itself on serving seasonal, home-grown, rustic food as well as world class loose-leaf teas and freshly ground artisan coffees.
