At Dyson Farming we’re excited about growing the future of sustainable agriculture through innovation and people, and we want to reinvigorate the value in better tasting, healthier food, grown in harmony with the environment. We have given balance to our production system by making the most of the areas best suited to growing food by using precision technology and a regenerative farming approach. The areas that have the greatest benefit to wildlife and people sit within our farmland and form a network of resources, that are managed to increase biodiversity and carbon capture while providing opportunities for recreation. We invite you to come and enjoy our landscapes and big skies – as a holiday guest or just enjoy a walk across our farms.

Broadleaved woodland and wetland habitats also contribute to the great variety of wildlife Places of interest nearby include the cultural centre of Oxford, Ne bury Racecourse, Highclere Castle, Donnington Castle, Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre, with Windsor Castle being around 45 mins away by car.
