By Ivan Jordan

“We cherished sunny afternoons in our Exeter allotment…bringing home food that could not be bought: sweetcorn and asparagus barely minutes old, spicy exotic salad leaves, courgette flowers, grapes from our vines. So we took our love of growing things to a new level, on our terms, on our own land.”

Townies. That’s what we are. An architect and a DJ, farming. Cluelessly sticking the car in ditches, planting saplings that get eaten, putting up polytunnels that get blown down, and making countless other mistakes. But, ten years in, we have two innovative, profitable businesses on our land, producing the most sustainable sparkling wine in the world, in the heart of beautiful Devon.
