The Keveral Community of Growers brings together innovative farms located in South East Cornwall

Keveral Farm sits high above the South Cornwall coast near Seaton, around five miles from Looe. It has supported a community of growers, using organic methods since the early seventies becoming one of the first Soil Association Certified farms.

Seaan O'Neill from Keveral FarmThe produce boxes are packed at Keveral where Sean O'Neill heads up the team. The packing barn, that has been used for many years to pack boxes, sits in the middle of the action on the farm, surrounded by the apple press, chickens and a range of other buildings that the community have big plans for. Down a short and winding lane a series of polytunnels huddle together and supply some of the best heritage tomatoes and winter salads that you will ever taste.
