The farm received its official certification from the Soil Association confirming  that our farmland meets their rigorous certification criteria governing animal welfare, protecting human health, and safeguarding the environment.

Daylesford’s cheddar was the first in Britain to be certified organic. Made by hand on our farm using time-honoured artisan methods, the piquant, layered taste and well- balanced texture have won it national and international awards.

Our Cotswold farmshop opened selling our homemade soups, sandwiches, bread, cheese, meat and a few vegetables.

Bamford's first body products launched with the creation of the brand's signature geranium fragrance. It remains the most popular.

The spas have always remained faithful to the philosophy of this founding location, offering carefully curated facial and body treatments, mind and movement classes and holistic therapies, all focused on healing using a blend of ancient techniques and the latest developments in wellness. 

Our ‘Summer Solstice’ garden was designed to illustrate the journey of organically grown produce from soil to table. After the show, the garden was moved to the market garden at the farm.

We are passionate about passing on skills and knowledge. Our cookery school gives our visitors the opportunity to share our ingredients and connect with them; to use and engage with produce from the farm while also learning about it and understanding how it journeys from field to fork.

Careful and sensitive refurbishment of the seventeenth-century stone building took time, so it was an exciting moment to open the doors to Daylesford Stays' first pub, our take on a modern inn where visitors can dine, drink and sleep.

The Trough restaurant was awarded one of Michelin's inaugural ‘Green Stars’. The award recognises restaurants for their sustainable and environmental practices and singles them out as ‘role models’ for others.

The knitwear was awarded Positive Luxury’s Product Innovation of the Year. Bamford was the first brand to craft knitted merino pieces that haven’t left UK soil and the award recognises Carole Bamford’s vision to unite Daylesford’s expertise in sustainable, organic farming with Bamford’s skill in designing knitwear.

Bamford opened its luxury members club set within the greenery of Daylesford's farm. The beautifully designed building houses a space where members can have a swim looking out into an orchard; train in a state-of the-art gym, attend high-energy fitness classes or take their fitness outside with world class trainers to choose from.

Founder Carole Bamford brought together Daylesford, Bamford and Daylesford Stays as a family of businesses working towards the same purpose: to champion a slow and sustainable way of living.

Daylesford's striking events venue draws inspiration from its countryside surroundings. Three versatile, dynamic spaces with panoramic views over Daylesford’s market garden are perfectly suited to intimate gatherings and grand celebrations.
