WHO IS HALF ACRE FARM
Half Acre Farm is a family run cut flower farm lovingly tended by Sarah, Tom and our little boy Ruben.
We established Half Acre Farm in 2016, and we have grown the business steadily over the past eight years, experimenting with what grows well in our local micro-climate and also which blooms provide the best vase life for our customers. Growing the business slowly has also allowed us time to learn how to manage 'pests' and 'weeds' in a more environmentally conscious way, using organic growing methods and avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, pesticides and fungicides. Our goal has always been to grow seasonal 'nature friendly' flowers and that still rings-true to date!
As a small business we like to support other local producers and makers. A lot of our packaging and marketing materials are printed locally and we support many local farm shops, zero-waste outlets and local charities.
THE FARM
Half Acre Farm is located in the historic Oxcroft Estate Land Settlement nestled between Bolsover and the villages of Clowne, Creswell and Stanfree, Derbyshire.
Our site extends to just over half an acre, with approximately 1/3rd currently given over to cut flowers and a large area dedicated to the production of Strawberries (available in June).
The farm is not generally open to the public apart from open days and events, but we do have a produce stand which is stocked with seasonal produce, flowers and eggs available to purchase as and when available.
The best way to keep up to date with what is happening on the farm - including open days, events and farm-stand availability - is to like and subscribe to our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.
OUR CUSTOMERS
Half Acre Farm welcomes local brides, florists and flower lovers in search of fresh, seasonal and environmentally conscious blooms. We offer 'florists' buckets' and 'DIY wedding flower buckets', as well as wholesale prices on our larger crops such as tulips, sunflowers and dahlias for B2B customers.
We also provide a 'made to order' bouquet service for local customers looking for plastic free, environmentally conscious flowers and gifts!
