Farm Shop, History of Passion

The Richmond family is passionately dedicated to the principles and practice of organic farming; producing food that has been grown as nature intended. Goodwood achieved full organic status in 2004, although the concept that the Estate could be farmed organically originated in the 1950s. Fifty years of family interest in the organic movement and whole foods has culminated in Goodwood running one of the largest, low-land organic farms in Europe.

West Sussex Farm Shop, it's in the soil

The present Duchess of Richmond was one of the Soil Association’s earliest members. An advocate of whole food, the Duchess ran her kitchen garden on organic principles and passed on her passion to her family, which is one of the reasons why her son, the Earl of March, is now committed to farming organically. Environmental enrichment and healthy food are also deeply rooted in the Countess of March’s background; her uncle, David Astor, founded the Elm Farm Research Centre.
