The Apricot Centre @ Huxhams Cross Farm

We aim to create a beautiful 34-acre farm that will produce delicious Biodynamic food, vegetables, fruit, eggs and chicken, that would supply 100 families via a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model. 

The farm would "add value" to produce by making jams, chutneys, cordials and juices with grade out produce. 

The farm would be a demonstration farm for; Biodynamic methods of food production, Permaculture design and Agroforestry, weaving these techniques together to create a productive, sustainable, beautiful and biodiverse farm.

Huxhams Cross Farm is a home for The Apricot Centre. 

A training room offers a range of courses and events and to train apprentices on a longer term basis. 

We welcome children to explore the farm, food and eating, subject to suitable funding streams. 

We will have regular celebratory events on the farm, such as; Apple days, Easter egg hunts, as well as work days involving the community as a part of the CSA aspect of the project. We believe that having regular and close experiences in nature give a sense of wellbeing to everyone, we do this through being on a farm, celebrating nature within a productive system, eating lovely food and generally having a great time.

We aim to work collaboratively with local people and organisations as the project becomes more established and would expect it to evolve and develop in response to local need and feedback from the land.
