PINEAPPLE FARM

The Estate spans 42 hectares of farmland, primarily consisting of permanent pasture. Our grandparents passed down the farm, alongside passing down a love for nature. This is why it's so important for us to protect this piece of Dorset, to encourage biodiversity for soil & wildlife health. For the past 20 years we have worked on environmental schemes, learning as much as we can, adopting new methods to help the environment here at Pineapple Estate. Leading us to revert back to low intensity farming, reducing pesticide usage and artificial inputs on the soil.

 

We currently manage the farm within environmental programs, modifying our crop rotation to include nectar flower mixes, permanent pasture, and legume and herb-rich swards. These crops focus on nitrogen cycling, support wildlife, and enhance soil health. We have been monitoring the impact this has on our farm, to create data lead insight into carbon capture.  

​

There is so much for us to learn & do, but we have high hopes for what we can achieved. By giving biodiversity and the environment an opportunity to flourish, we hope to learn from nature.
