Darshan is a “quiet force in the world of Biodynamic agriculture” and “a quiet leader that cultivates not just healthy soil but also a vibrant community of learners and practitioners. - Biodynamic Association.

Previously a stately home, its walled garden hasn’t seen a synthetic chemical in its 300 year existence, and is now Demeter certified - Biodynamic.

The school teaches how to grow exceptional produce and market it as a business as part of its normal curriculum. The produce from this vibrant and fertile soil is exquisite.

Darshan does not believe in mollycoddling plants. Instead they earn their place in his garden, encouraged and forced to seek nutrients and water for themselves as they would naturally. He does not irrigate, just waters new seedlings in. His soil is so well established it is resilient to the longest droughts without irrigation and wettest weeks without flooding.
