On her father’s land, Eve has created a farm in her own image: authentic and full of life. Her Hampshire Down ewes graze freely between the walnut trees, whose fruit she harvests to produce homemade oils and sweets such as caramelised kernels. Today, she shares the fruits of her labour through lamb parcels and made-to-measure hampers, prepared with care and passion.
