Royal Oak Organics

Royal Oak is in Bickerstaff near Ormskirk in Lancashire. Peter Lydiate, his partner Cheryl and his brother, Andrew run their family farm of 120 acres and rent other land locally taking it up to 300 acres. Each year 130 acres is vegetables, 80 acres is corn and the rest cover crops. They have been organic since the late 1990s. They grow around 65 different crops on fertile black sand soil and they are passionate about the taste of their vegetables as well as maintaining soil quality. They specialise in different varieties of coloured carrots, beetroots, cauliflower and even sprouts to give veg box schemes more diversity.

Locavore is really trying to make the world a better place. We need more of this!
