Tour an Organic Farm

My wife and I went to Down To Earth on Earlsdon High Street for their autumn barbeque last Saturday. The organic sausages on sale were from Elmhurst Farms, which happens to be a one of the farms that the Soil Association recommends that you can visit. They were pretty tasty. It's important to support local suppliers. You can search on a website called Big Barn for everything within x many miles of Coventry.

Just a short drive from Coventry is Elmhurst Organic Farm, a haven of tranquillity near the Fosseway. Rod and Ann Pattison's 83 hectare farm produces beef, sheep, pigs, poultry, eggs and cereals. Elmhurst’s careful organic management of its old pastures preserves the wild flora for us and future generations to enjoy. Cowslip, lady’s smock and bugle abound in the hay meadows in spring and summer. As well as the wild flower meadows, Elmhurst Organic Farm is proud of its woodland belts, ponds and well-managed hedges. The farm won the 1998 Loraine Award for nature conservation and organic farming. The farm trail and shop are open Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 9-4. If you would like a guided group tour, please call the office to arrange a suitable date. Please always contact the farm to check opening times before you set off.
