The Beard
Andy Somerton

The beard behind Beardyman Farm. A passion for food (both production of and eating!) and a belief that small scale agriculture is the way forward, both in terms of food security and sustainability, led me to establish the farm. I am determined to establish and develop links between the farm and the local community. I am a local boy having grown up in rural Gloucestershire and whilst the focus of the boxes will be the vegetables I am also keen to showcase some of the incredible local food producers from our area. When not amongst the vegetables I can most likely be found either walking our Romanian rescue dog Arnie/at The Gloucester Old Spot (great pub)/on a mountain.

We've been able to try vegetables that aren't always available in supermarkets which has enabled us to enjoy more interesting weeknight dinners!
