About us
Over forty years ago, Carole Bamford began a journey for a more conscious way of life.
What began as a desire to make a small difference has grown into Daylesford Organic, one of the most sustainable farms in the UK.
Alongside our farm in the Cotswolds, we have an award-winning organic farmshop with a Cookery School, café and Bamford Haybarn Spa, and four further farmshops in London.
