 Bothen Hill Produce was established in 2001 by the de Greeff family. Registered with the Soil Association there are now in excess of 150 types and varieties of vegetables grown on approximately 15 acres in West Dorset. These are marketed through a local box scheme which delivers on a Friday evening within approximately a 5-mile radius of the farm, through Farmers Markets and once a week from the farm gate.
The acreage and management of the farm ensures a continuous supply of vegetables throughout the year and also ensures that a rotation system is followed to ensure that the land is regularly rested and revitalised using not only natural but also green manures, and that no crop is grown in the same place in subsequent years.
Due to the close proximity to the sea the season starts early with new potatoes and carrots during May followed by the full range of seasonal vegetables.
