Feltham’s Farm is a certified organic farm. We aspire to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible and we put animal welfare, biodiversity, sustainability and nutritional value at the heart of our farm. We don’t spray our land with pesticides or forever chemicals. We make our own hay to use as both feed and bedding for our animals rather than buying in hay and straw of unknown provenance. We have planted over 1,500 native species trees to promote biodiversity, provide shade for our animals and to soak up water from our marshland, whilst also creating a couple of fens to bring in specialist marshland birds. It’s a lot of work but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We also set up the Organic Cheesemakers’ Network to raise awareness of the additional issues that we all face – we farm regeneratively BUT we are also audited annually (and pay for it). We definitely don’t use glyphosate (unlike many regenerative farmers), for many reasons not least it’s probably carcinogenic to humans.

We currently make five organic cheeses (all labels designed by the magnificent Jem Panufnik – Renegade Monk, Rebel Nun, La Fresca Margarita, and Gert Lush. Renegade Monk is a multi award winning soft blue cheese, washed in organic ale from Stroud Brewery. Using artisan techniques to a newly developed recipe, the Monk is labour intensive, requiring washing every few days, and is mature after four weeks. Rebel Nun is the sister cheese to the Monk, and is perceived as being milder and creamier than the Monk. La Fresca Margarita is a Queso Fresco inspired by our travels in Latin America. Tasting as good with honey and figs as it does on the side with salad or tortilla and won Best British Cheese at the #VirtualCheeseAwards2021.

Sustainability matters to us, so our Cheese barn is powered by ground source heating and solar panels, rainwater is harvested from the roof to give to our animals and we deliver our cheeses by electric van.

Our two-bedroom organic cabin is available to let throughout the year. It sleeps four adults and comes with all the mod cons you’d expect, including WiFi, polished concrete floor and squishy designer sofa. Next door is a smaller two-bedroom cottage, which is great if you are two families wishing to be together but accommodate separately. With all the activity on the farm (feeding sheep, pigs, sometimes chickens if the fox has not got them) and in the cheese room, it’s the perfect place to stay for a weekend or longer and is an ideal base from which to explore the West Country. Bristol and the Jurassic Coast are within an hour’s drive and London is just two hours away (we’re also well-served by Templecombe train station). Heating and electricity all comes from ground source and solar panels, so you can relax confident you are not destroying the planet. We have a 25m x 25m rainwater swimming pond which is perfect for the really hot weather…and plans for a sauna for 2026.
