“Our two eldest sons were involved from the start with our youngest son and daughter joining shortly after, so we are very much a family-run business.”
We’re not a farm so much as a small holding, which has been built up over the years to supply the farm shop that we opened in 2007.
Woodview Farm’s roots were as a market garden back in the 70s and 80s, but by the 90s the rise of the supermarket giants forced the closure of many independent greengrocers and market stalls (who were our buyers) which in turn instigated the demise of hundreds of market gardens across the country, ours included.
