Watts Farm is a family-run business which farms over 600 hectares of land across 10 farms in Kent and Essex. Reducing their environmental impact and encouraging wildlife is really important to them, so they encourage bird nesting on their farms, working with the RSPB to monitor if the birds are of low, medium or high conservation concern. They are also passionate about growing produce in the UK rather than importing, so they constantly invest in new ways to extend the season length to make the most of British season.

Chalkdown is an elegant sparkling cider crafted from specially selected apples grown in the South Downs. It’s made in the same traditional way that fine sparkling wine is and takes 30 months to create, from the harvesting of the apples to being available to buy. Only 9000 bottles are made per year in Hampshire and the whole process is overseen by the cider maker.
