Sharpham Park

Sharpham Park Welcome to Sharpham Park, the home of British Organic Walnuts, where we champion British organic regenerative farming for a sustainable future.

With a commitment to our planet and premium quality, we nurture our orchards to produce the finest walnuts. At Sharpham Park we grow and mill organic spelt on our 300 acre farm on the Somerset Levels. We make flour in the traditional way by stone grinding it to protect the germ oils. We also make cereal, grain and pearled spelt, a delicious alternative to rice. Spelt is an ancient grain which is a

delicious alternative to conventional wheat. The grain has a unique gluten structure and our customers tell us that they find it easier to digest than modern wheat. It's highly nutritious, high in fibre and a tasty source of slow release energy, popular with athletes and explorers. You can find our delicious spelt range in supermarkets, delicatessens and farm shops or buy online at www.sharphampark.com.

‘We are no longer sleepwalking. We have walked straight off the edge of the cliff.’

That’s from my piece in The Independent last week, ‘We are at red alert for food security, the UK is running out of water’. 💧 Full piece linked in bio.

Three-quarters of England is in drought. This year’s walnut harvest at Sharpham Park is coming up small again, two dry summers running, and there’s still no government support for irrigation, even though grants exist for planting the trees in the first place.

This is not just a bad year…. It’s a pattern.

I’ll be picking this up in person on Saturday 26 September at F**A, the Festival of Food Ideas, at the Arnolfini in Bristol, hosting a panel called ‘How Can We Feed Britain?’. 🌾

Come and join the conversation.

Thank you to for this wonderful feature on Roger Saul and the story behind our Somerset walnut orchard. 🌳

The article explores Roger’s vision for British-grown food, sustainable farming, and the importance of increasing UK food self-sufficiency. Over 20 years after planting thousands of walnut trees, Sharpham Park continues to champion regenerative farming that supports biodiversity, soil health, and local food resilience. 🍃

As our green walnut harvest approaches, we’re proud to keep growing high-quality British produce while working in harmony with nature.

Thank you to Ian, Western Daily for highlighting these important conversations.

🐝 World Bee Day at Sharpham Park

After a difficult winter for bee colonies, we sadly lost our bees.

Then, by chance, a swarm appeared in the old garden next door. spent hours carefully collecting them from the wisteria and bringing them back to one of our hives.

The moment the bees began fanning outside the hive, lifting their tails and beating their wings, it looked like the queen was safely inside.

For us, bees are not just about honey. They are part of the whole farming system, supporting biodiversity, organic farming, pollination and the future of British food.

Small creatures. Huge importance. 🐝

Happy Walnut Day 🌳

Long before they became known as one of nature’s most nourishing foods, walnuts were treasured by ancient civilisations and grown across monastery gardens as a valuable source of energy, protein and goodness.

Here at Sharpham Park, walnuts have their own place in our story. We grow British organic walnuts as part of our regenerative farming system.

Harvest is one of the most special moments on the farm. A reminder of why growing food here in the UK matters: for healthier soils, stronger local food security, more resilient farming and a deeper connection between what we eat and where it comes from.

From tree to table, every walnut carries a little history, a lot of care and a future we believe in. 🌍

Happy Walnut Day from all of us at Sharpham Park.

What does it mean to stay relevant over time?

For , it meant starting again.

After building Mulberry, Roger chose to step away and focus on organic farming at Sharpham Park, with a regenerative approach, rooted in soil health, sustainability and long-term thinking.

He’ll be speaking at The Founders Playground on 14 May 2026, a new kind of event designed to make the South West a destination for innovation and creativity.

This isn’t another conference. It’s a space where ideas are tested, challenged and built in real time. Where founders, creatives and communities come together to experiment without fear or judgement.

Roger will be sharing his perspective on building, stepping away, and starting again, and why organic farming, UK food security and how we eat matters more than ever.
