Open farm sunday is today. Organic and really very good.
Romshed Farm, Bank Lane, Underriver, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN15 0SD.

I am sure they already have a good connection with the local people but perhaps they may have a corner of a field for a small pilot CSA for seveonaks. I may be bold enough to ask anyway!
Also they have their 'Sevenoaks Living Landscape' project.

About Us
Romshed Farm is a small family run farm. We aim to supply exceptional, tasty meat to local people. We enjoy sharing recipes and ideas with our customers, many of whom really appreciate the adventure of trying new cuts and the seasonality of naturally produced meat.
The farm`s 175 acres are farmed to maximise the historic, conservation and wildlife value of the land. It is registered as organic with the Soil Association. Large areas of long grass and old mixed hedges provide wildlife corridors for insects and small mammals. Hedges are cut every other year and late in the year to ensure birds have full access to berries and seeds. Our cereals are produced in a way that means we have skylarks singing in the fields all year round and flocks of linnets wheeling around in the late summer.
Our animals are reared and finished naturally so depend on the seasons to produce the grass to finish them. We are approved suppliers under the Pasture Fed Livestock Association. This means our meat is seasonal, with beef ready only in early autumn and winter, lamb, chicken and duck from mid summer through to Christmas, hogget in early spring and pork just a few times a year. Visit their website to find out more about the health benefits of meat that is entirely pasture fed.
The welfare of our livestock is paramount. We use breeds suited to a low input natural organic system. Our stock is all bred and reared on the farm so there is no stress in their lives. We believe this all contributes to healthy, happy animals and that the herb and clover rich meadows contribute to the sweet flavour and succulence of our meat.
Our duck and chicken is often described by customers as "the best ever" and they spend all day scratching and foraging in the rich clover and grass leys.
We like to have cooked all the cuts we produce and to share the joy of trying out new "lines" with our customers. Romshed air dried ham, hung in our sixteenth century barn over the winter is a real treat as is the gammon and bacon smoked in our homemade wardrobe smoker.
To enjoy our meat throughout the year, you need a good size freezer.
SOLL - Sevenoaks Living Landscape
The Sevenoaks Living Landscape (SOLL) is a Kent Wildlife Trust initiative to increase the involvement of local people in wildlife conservation.
Many of the large landowners in the area support wildlife conservation, but ....
Every garden is a possible haven for wildlife and we are here to help you make the best of it.In the past couple of years, the group has worked hard to raised awareness of the importance of wildlife conservation in the countryside at large rather than just in protected areas. We have attended events and been written about (This is Kent). But we have also made a real difference by working with landowners, farmers and homeowners to create wildflower meadows, better-managed woodlands and roadside verges. We have also launched a major initiative to encourage barn owls to thrive in our area. In the past year we have erected 10 barn owl boxes and are planning to install a similar number in the coming months.
