Lee House Farm is a small mixed organic farm registered
with the
Soil Association,
producing rare breed pork, sausages, bacon, lamb, turkey, eggs, vegetables
and beef.
We are sandwiched between two ancient woodlands on the Surrey and Sussex
borders.
The farm contains sites of special scientific interest and is home to
some of the rarest flora and fauna in the country.
We manage 60 acres of ancient woodland ourselves, and are working with
all local conservation bodies to ensure that we continue to enhance
our environment for all concerned. We have several local footpaths
and bridleways and welcome considerate and sympathetic visitors
to our farm at any time.
We started with stock from our last smallholding and it has grown
organically from there.
Today we farm 250 acres, all registered Organically with the Soil
Association
We have Beautiful native Sussex cows, several small flocks of
free range chickens, all varying in colours and temperament, housed
in small home made “chickenvans” so that we can tow them around
our small fields easily. There are various sheep and a motley
crew of Rare Breed Middle White pigs, complemented by a very ginger
Tamworth boar. As well as all that, we grow fantastic tasty vegetables
and raise the odd turkey or two for Xmas!
Everything we sell is grown on the farm, so continuity is a
word that keeps us on our toes!
We grow, cut and pack EVERYTHING on the farm, including dry cure
bacon, gammons, and our own famous sausages using prime fresh
joints of our organic pork.
You will not buy a better tasting, quality sausage. No additives,
no preservatives, just good meat and careful attention. (Also
available as gluten free)
We can cut to your requirements with appropriate notice, but
obviously within the availability of our stock. We do not buy
in to meet demand so do get your orders in as early as possible
to avoid disappointment. Just send us an email to discuss your
requirements.
History
Lee House Farm was an old, inaccessible chicken and vegetable farm dating
back to the 16th century.
There has been a long tradition of Organic farming here dating back to
the 1920’s. Local people have told me that they grew lettuce and strawberries
which were bussed up to Harrods in the 1950’s from our fields! After that,
300 hens ranged the fields and the next owner used to take their eggs
up to London in his Landrover every week until one day, he had to stop
suddenly and the rest was inevitable.
Farming at Lee House ground to a halt until 1993 when we arrived in this
beautiful oasis of wildlife and Nature hidden but an hour from London. We
soon transformed it into the higgledy piggeldy farm that it is today.
