Supplier of UK Grown Premium Products for the UK Herbal and Neutricutical Sectors
A North Devon Herb Farm building an agroforestry herb operation. We're creating a regenerative supply chain for premium herbal products.
The Opportunity We See
UK supplement manufacturers source 60-70% of herbal ingredients from overseas. It's created a supply chain vulnerability with real consequences.
Import delays disrupt production schedules. Quality varies batch to batch. Regulatory compliance becomes complicated. Carbon footprint conflicts with brand values.
There's a better way. UK-grown, regeneratively farmed, premium herbal products from a partner who understands both the farming and the market.
A Vision for Regenerative Herbal Production
We are a 17-acre agroforestry operation in Bideford, Devon. We're establishing a model for sustainable, scalable herbal production in the UK.
We're not a wholesaler. We're not an importer. We're farmers building a regenerative system from the ground up.
Our approach will be agroforestry integration with native trees creating a biodiverse growing environment. This isn't efficiency first farming, it's systems first farming.
Organic conversion to Soil Association standards (target 2028). We're building the right practices from the start, not retrofitting later.
Processing capability in-house. We control the journey from seed to shipment, which means we control quality and potency.
Species selection driven by real market demand. We're growing what UK manufacturers actually need, not what's easy to scale.
Operations begin 2026. First product availability 2027
How We Grow – Regenerative Systems Thinking
Agroforestry is the integration of trees and shrubs with herbaceous plants on the same land. It sounds simple. It's actually sophisticated.
Why agroforestry matters for herbal production;
Native trees provide shade for moisture-loving herbs. They create windbreaks for exposed herbs. They contribute to soil building through leaf fall and root biology. They provide visual beauty and biodiversity value.
Between the trees, we establish beds of herbal species at different densities and heights. This creates a layered ecosystem that resembles natural plant communities rather than agricultural monocultures.
The result, a farm that looks and functions more like a managed forest than a field of crops.
Regenerative principles
-Zero synthetic inputs. Fertility comes from coppiced willow mulch (grown on-site), cover crops, and compost integration.
Soil building as a primary goal. Every harvest decision considers impact on soil biology.
Biodiversity as a design feature. Pollinator corridors, hedgerows and wildlife habitat are infrastructure, not afterthoughts.
Water management through natural systems. Ponds capture seasonal water for irrigation and serve as wildlife habitat.
Carbon sequestration. Trees store carbon managed properly, this is a carbon-negative farm.
We're not claiming to be perfect. We're claiming to be intentional.
