The Flower Farm:
Burnt Fen Flowers
In the Norfolk Broads, Burnt Fen Flowers is a five-acre flower farm. Guided by the moon and relying on the rhythm of the seasons, Alfie Nickerson follows long-established biodynamic principles for restoring the land and nourishing the soil. Since Alfie took over in 2019, the land hasn’t seen a single drop of pesticide or artificial fertiliser. Instead, he relies on natural manure to nourish the soil, and he’s made it his mission to prioritise biodiversity and wildlife conservation in everything he does. For your home or garden, you can subscribe to weekly deliveries of seasonal bunches.
