The Land
A unique opportunity to preserve an organic oasis in the heart of Suffolk and promote ecological principles
The Sinfield Nature Conservation Trust discovered an extraordinary Suffolk farm for sale in 2005. After over 30 years of neglect, the subsequent owners managed the farm for conservation without the use of artificial fertilisers or pesticides for 13 years until the Trust purchased the land in 2005. The Trust has entered Organic Conversion with the Soil Association.
