INTHE PADDOCK “We have had such dry weather, and using rain water only, that makes it very hard,” David says. “But, good, clean food is important and we rely on organic methods to produce vegetables and herbs. “It’s a fine balance between growing enough produce to supply the restaurants and enough bespoke vegetables and herbs to surprise our diners. We want to use the farm to benefit the business, so we want to offer unique, bespoke produce.”
To help with the balance, Maravista Farm has recently expanded to the block of land opposite the farm where work is now underway to prepare the soil for planting. What delights will be grown on this new farm is yet to be decided, but there is no doubt it will be good, clean, organic food – and diners will be delighted.
