Fortyhallfarm

What Fortyhallfarm does

Fortyhallfarm (Forty Hall Farm) is a certified organic mixed farm located on the Forty Hill estate in Enfield, on the northern edge of London inside the M25. It is operated by Capel Manor College, London's environmental college, which uses the site as a real-world commercial training environment for students in animal care, agriculture, and wildlife conservation. The farm runs with a small core team of roughly five full-time staff, supplemented by volunteers and Capel Manor College students, and combines livestock (including rare breeds), a market garden, and London's only organic commercial vineyard (Forty Hall Vineyard), which produces Bacchus and Ortega still wines and a sparkling wine.

The business operates a diversified, community-anchored revenue model. Primary channels are an on-site Farm Shop open Wednesday to Sunday selling own-grown produce (vegetables, salad, eggs, flowers, free-range lamb, pork, sausages, and Red Poll beef) alongside stocked local artisan products; the Enfield Veg Co. weekly vegetable bag subscription delivering across Enfield and Barnet; a monthly Farmers Market; weekend public farm visits with admission fees (£4 adults, £1 children); venue hire for weddings and events; and wholesale of organic meat, vegetables, and eggs into other local shops. Supporting programmes include corporate volunteer days, work experience placements for school students aged 14+, and viticulture workshops, positioning the farm simultaneously as a food producer, a teaching resource, and a community gathering place.

The customer base is overwhelmingly local — Enfield and Barnet residents, local schools, and corporate groups engaging in volunteer days. There is no external investment, no parent company beyond the academic institution, no disclosed revenue figures, no app or API surface, and no AI/ML component. Marketing is community-centric, relying on the website, events, and social channels (the Twitter integration on the site is noted as broken). The farm's competitive position rests on its organic certification, its unique "only-in-London" commercial vineyard status, and the depth of its community ties rather than on scale, technology, or capital.
