West Marden Farm

Summary

West Marden Farm, situated within the South Downs National Park, spans one thousand acres of arable land, grassland and woodland. Our family has owned the farm since 1947, witnessing significant evolution over the decades. Originally, the farm supported dairy, sheep and pigs, sustaining ten full-time staff. Presently, our focus is on growing combinable crops such as winter wheat, winter oilseed rape and spring barley, with only one full-time staff member dedicated to these operations. Onsite we also have three self catering properties available for hire and all residing guests share usage of our superb heated outdoor swimming pool. (Pool available Mid June - Mid Sept, Monday - Saturday 8am-3pm).
