The People Behind the Land
Farming isn’t a solo pursuit. This page belongs to the growers, neighbours and passers-through who make Green Heart Farm what it is — their stories, their portraits, their wisdom.
Featured Farmer of the Month
Ben, Green Heart Farm — Ben runs the farm day to day: land care, building, and the slow work of getting a regenerative smallholding to hold its own. This spot will rotate to feature other local farmers as the Forum grows — get in touch if that’s you.
Local Farmer Portrait Gallery
A growing collection of the people farming this corner of Norfolk. If you’re a local grower and want to be featured — with a photo and a few lines in your own words — get in touch.
Moments From the Land
Small, real things worth keeping:
- A grass snake, curled up inside the hedgehog house.
- Lunawyn, our resident barn owl, landing beside me at dusk.
- A jay coming back, cautiously, after a bit of help.
- Willow cuttings taking root — proof something so plain can just decide to grow.
Farmers Forum is the real-time rhythm of the farm. The Wellbeing page is where the best of these moments are kept.
Wellbeing in Farming
Farming is physical, weather-dependent, and often solitary work. This isn’t about fixing that — it’s just honest acknowledgement, and space for the practical, human side of doing it: what helps, what doesn’t, and knowing you’re not the only one out in the rain.
Wildlife Windows
Pond. Reeds, reflections, and whatever’s moving through.
Hedgerow & meadow. Nest box, hedgehog tunnel, and the meadow edge — windows onto this are on their way.
Walk the Farm
Digital tours of the farm — the polytunnel, the rammed-tyre structure, the orchard and the pond — are in the works. For now, the best way to walk the farm is to come and do it in person: get in touch to arrange a visit.
