Stoneage Organics is a family business run by Keith Martin specializing in organically grown produce. Our first land (at Oake, near Taunton, Somerset) was converted to Soil Association symbol status in 1988. Since then, the rest of the farm has gradually been converted so that since 1st January 2001 it has been entirely organic.
In addition to the farm in Oake, we also have a farm near Bishop's Lydeard which has been fully organic since 1st January 2001, giving us an approximate total of 70 acres. This is where the majority of the growing is now done.
We have been growing organic vegetables since 1988 and have been running our Vegetable Box Scheme since 1993.
All organic producers have to be
certified by a body such as the Soil
Association. This includes an annual inspection, which ensures that all
production methods comply with their rigorous standards, thereby maintaining a
sustainable system of farming which not only helps protect the earth's
resources for future generations, but also encourages greater biodiversity and
preserves wildlife habitats.
Organic food, being guaranteed free of GMO's and artificial sprays and fertilizers, is therefore:
"Healthy Food You Can Trust"
Our main enterprise is the Vegetable Box Scheme, although organic lamb is now also available. Organic pork is also in the pipeline! An organic apple orchard has been planted but the trees are taking a lot longer to establish than expected so it may still be a year or two before they bear fruit in any quantity.
