ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Daylesford was founded on the belief that we need to be more mindful of our connection to the earth — to live consciously, in harmony with nature, and to respect the land that provides for us. We design and create to inspire our community to be more connected: to themselves, to others, and to the environment. We do so in collaboration with skilled artisans and makers who bring our collections to life thoughtfully and with integrity.

the origins of daylesford

the origins of daylesford

Our unique story began more than forty years ago, with a moment of clarity for our founder, Carole Bamford. Walking in her garden with her newborn baby she noticed her newly planted roses wilting. A smell of chemicals was in the air and she could hear the sound of big machinery spraying the fields on her neighbouring farm. On learning that the smell was a strong toxic herbicide, causing her roses to wilt, she began to question how we farm and to explore a route for change that respected our soil, our health and our wellbeing.

FROM GREEN SHOOTS

Initially launching as a small farmshop, with a dairy herd and fields growing a small amount of seasonal vegetables, today Daylesford has grown into one of the UK’s largest organic farms. Dedicated to growing, producing, and cooking seasonal organic food and thoughtfully crafted home fragrance, kitchen and household goods, Daylesford is renowned for its pioneering work in sustainable farming.

ESCAPE AND EXPERIENCE – DAYLESFORD STAYS

ESCAPE AND EXPERIENCE – DAYLESFORD STAYS

Our original hamlet of Tudor Gothic cottages nestled on Daylesford Farm was rebuilt in 1868 by Harman Grieswood for his tenants and recently restored by our in-house architects and interior designers. Carefully retaining their distinct character, each interior is inspired by nature, imbued with craftsmanship and low-impact indulgence. Today our collection of cottages has grown to include further stays across our farm and in nearby villages. Daylesford Stays invites guests to experience restorative escapes immersed in natural beauty and mindful living.
The Wild Rabbit opened in 2013 as the first of our four Modern British Inns. Today The Fox, The Bell and The Three Horseshoes offer menus featuring seasonal produce from our farm and local growers, with rooms to relax, restore and experience the heart of the Cotswolds.
