Welcome to Becklands Organic Farm

Becklands Farm is situated in rolling hills of West Dorset in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies within the ‘Jurassic Coast’, a designated a World Heritage Geological Site because of its unique fossil deposits.

Becklands has been farmed organically for over forty years and lies in the west of the Marshwood Vale famed for its wild flowers, narrow lanes, traditional hedges and patchwork fields. The farm boasts over a hundred different wild flowers and some 45 species of bird in addition to badgers, buzzards, wild pheasants, foxes and rabbits.

Becklands is a working organic farm (Soil Association) of 12 hectares with a small herd of Red Ruby X beef cattle, geese, and laying hens. Our products are sold in local shops and from our own small farm shop. They are also used in the White House Hotel, Charmouth, the Jurassic Wine Bar, Lyme Regis and River Cottage HQ.

Recently Becklands’ hens were featured in two drawings by pastel artist Nina Squire – see thepastelartist.co.uk, and was also featured in Food And Travel magazine. The farm was also one of five organic farms to be visited for inspiration by composer Cecilia McDowell and poet Christie Dickason. ‘The Five Seasons’, a 20 minute choral and instrumental piece resulted which was performed to great acclaim at Sherborne Abbey by Bournemouth Sinfonietta.
