We are on a mission to increase access to local & natural food
Our Vision
Local
We believe in localising food, to support our local economies and restore food sovereignty to our communities.
Natural
We believe in farming with nature, fostering biodiversity and creating healthy soils that provide food rich in nutrition.
Accessible
We believe in making good food accessible to everyone, not a premium product.
Who We Are
We are a regenerative food and farming project that is focused on supporting the UK’s ecology, health, and economy.
We specialise in growing and selling natural produce locally in Somerset, in tandem with developing a wonderfully biodiverse, regenerative, and efficient farming system.
Our core principles fall in line with agroecology, which means we farm in symbiosis with nature to foster healthy relationships between plants, animals, people, and their environment.
We believe this is the best way to produce abundant and nutritious food while simultaneously serving our community in the process.

Dave
Farm Manager
Two years ago I began discovering the problems of our food system. Having worked for 10 years in education, my discoveries inspired me to take a course in Agroecology and Organic Growing. Ive now joined the Higher Farm team to eventually support the development for our Centre for education in Agroecology.

Matteo
Co-Founder
I started building this idea in 2022. From experience in the food industry I started seeing the problems that the industrial food system was causing to our lives, and I decided I wanted to start a project that could help promote a movement towards a better food system.
