About Us
At Rectory Farm, we grow a range array of crops including Wheat, malting Barley, Sugar Beet, Oilseed Rape, and various seed crops. We also grow forage leys for our sheep and cattle. Each year, we fatten 3,000 store lambs on stubble turnips and raise cattle on CSS chalk grassland. Additionally, we are proud participants in a large environmental scheme dedicated to sustainable farming practices.
Rectory Farm is committed to climate protection through sustainable practices, including energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and eco-friendly farming methods. By preserving local biodiversity and reducing chemical usages, the farm actively reduces its carbon footprint and promotes a healthier future for local biodiversity.
