About Flint Owl Farm

Flint Owl Farm is a 1-acre no-dig market garden in Iford, East Sussex. We grow by organic principles, encourage biodiversity on site and use regenerative farming practices to maintain and restore the land we work on. Set up in late 2022, this new project is going into its first season of production and will be supplying the kitchens and shops of Flint Owl Bakery with fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers. Longer term we hope to diversify areas of production into soft fruits, top fruits and nuts.
