Home to Boer Goats and celebrations, explore our working farm set amongst beautiful meadows and lakes.
The Farm in Radwell known locally as Moor End was bought by JJ’s grandfather in the 1960’s, during which much of the land was dug for gravel extraction. Following this, the pits were flooded and over the next 50 years of natural regeneration, the area has become a wildlife haven.
JJ’s family have previously farmed sheep and dairy cows on the land up until the early 2000’s, since then the farm has been rented out as stables and for hay cutting.
We started actively farming at Wild Berry in Radwell with the arrival the Boer Goat herd in spring 2020. In 2023 we have welcomed five Oxford & Sandy Black pigs and a flock of Turkeys!
“It’s a real joy to be the 4th generation farming this land and working with what previous generations and natural regeneration has created over the last 60 years”
Wide floodplains have been managed through countryside schemes since the early 2000s. Species-rich swards which buzz with wild excitement throughout the year allow for perfect extensive grazing and haymaking. Using hay from the countryside plots, reduces the fertility of the soils which favours wildflowers and offers a more diverse hay crop in return, that the goats love in the winter months.
The 40ha arable field grows wheat for bread making and the straw is used for the goat’s winter housing.
Manure from the goats and our small flock of free range chickens, also gets spread back on to this land, to fertilise the next years crop.
Our countryside plots provide cover for birds to nest in the spring, flowers for bees and insects to forage for in the summer and seeds for wildlife in the winter.
