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, the owner of Green Heart Farm

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

The pond in spring at Green Heart Farm

Pond. Reeds, reflections, and whatever’s moving through.

Hedgerow at Green Heart Farm

Hedgerow & meadow. Nest box, hedgehog tunnel, and the meadow edge — windows onto this are on their way.

Walk the Farm

The tipi at Green Heart 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.
