BAMFORD COLLECTION THROUGH THE YEARS
Daylesford’s farm is certified organic
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.
The first Daylesford cheddar is produced in the creamery
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.
Daylesford's farmshop opens in Kingham
Our Cotswold farmshop opened selling our homemade soups, sandwiches, bread, cheese, meat and a few vegetables.
Bamford's bath and body range is launched
Bamford's first body products launched with the creation of the brand's signature geranium fragrance. It remains the most popular.
Bamford's Wellness Spa opens in the Cotswolds
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.
Daylesford wins a silver gilt medal at the Chelsea Flower Show
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.
Daylesford Cookery School launches
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.
The Wild Rabbit opens in Kingham
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.
Daylesford is awarded its Michelin Green Star
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 Fox opens in Lower Oddington
A 19th Century British inn nestled in the Gloucestershire countryside. The Fox is a village pub at the heart of the community with crackling log fires and a welcoming bar specialising in local beers and cocktails. The menu celebrates local producers including our sister farms at Daylesford Organic and Wootton.
Daylesford Village Opens
Close to Daylesford Farm you will find a hamlet of 15 stone cottages. Available to book as individual self-catering bolt holes, each Daylesford Village cottage has been carefully furnished to create an idyllic base from which to explore the surrounding Cotswold countryside.
Bamford’s homegrown merino collection wins a Positive Luxury award
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.
The Club by Bamford opens
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.
The Bell opens in Charlbury
A 17th Century pub in a picturesque Cotswold market town in the heart of the community
Our talented chefs have created a modern British menu serving seasonal dishes that celebrate produce from Daylesford Organic, our sister farm. The bedrooms have been restored with considered attention to detail, drawing on the skills of local artisans and artists.
The Three Horseshoes opens in Asthall
An eighteenth-century pub set in the heart of the Cotswolds’ beautiful Windrush valley
The Three Horseshoes is renowned for its warm welcome and generous community spirit. Serving local beers and ales, an eclectic wine list and comforting pub food made from seasonal ingredients, the pub has six rooms and a large garden with views across the rolling Cotswold hills.
The Bamford Collection is created
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.
Heritage House opens
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.
