Sustainable Farming
Sustainability, simply put, means using natural resources in a way that we can keep doing for a long time. At Castle Farm, we use Integrated Farm Management (IFM) to help us realise a more sustainable farm and protect our local environment. We’ve even earned the LEAF Marque to prove it! IFM joins tried and tested farming with modern technology to ensure agriculture stays sustainable well into the future.
Farmed With Care
Castle Farm is part of the Red Tractor Assurance Scheme that guarantees animal welfare, environmental protection, food safety and full traceability. We are proud of the Red Tractor logo on all our products, as it’s only found on quality British produce that’s safe for you and good for Britain.
Produce
Potatoes
Delicious, hearty potatoes for sale at our farm gate for local collection. We grow many kinds of potatoes, including Manhattan, Sensation, Saphire and our Tesco Finest Variety, a Red Potato called Laura!

Cider
Castle Farm has over 90 acres of Apple Orchards around Stoke Sub Hamdon. We’re now selling our very own Castle Farm Cider, with apples picked from our Dabinett variety Orchards in West Stoke. The result is a scrumptious medium flavour – Proper job!
Head to our Facebook for latest cider deals.
Beef
Our herd currently has 150 cows, all cared for to the highest standards. We have a mix of continental breeds, like Charolais, Belgian Blue and Limousin, plus one Aberdeen Angus Bull. In warmer months, you’ll find our cattle roaming the ancient ramparts of Ham Hill.
Check our Facebook for availability.
