BEEF, PORK, LAMB, DAIRY AND FRESH FARM PRODUCE
ABOUT US
We are Tim and Sophie, tenant farmers here at Collett's Farm together with our two children, Henry and Isla. We started farming here together in 2010.
​
Both of us had had plenty of previous farming experience, Tim as a farm manager on a mixed farming enterprise and Sophie as a farmer’s daughter of a mixed livestock farm.
When Tim left school he attended Writtle Agricultural College and completed a National Diploma and then a Honours Degree in Agriculture, farming was all he ever wanted to do.
​
Luckily for us in 2010 we were able to take on the tenancy here at Collett's Farm, a 120 acre holding in the Stour Valley.
We are extremely passionate about our livestock and their health and welfare is our first priority, whilst working with and improving the natural environment on the farm. Last year we experimented with a multi species herbal ley and have established a larger area for this coming year.
​
While many things have changed on the farm our sales ethos has remained much the same. From the beginning we have sold direct to the consumer. This started with beef boxes (as and when we had beef available). In 2014 we stared to make homemade pies with our meat, which is when we started selling at farmers markets and finally in 2018 we opened our farm shop.
​
We now sell beef, pork, lamb, pies and milk regularly at farmers markets and from our shop which is open 7 days a week.
