New Forest nuts
Nuts as they should be! Fresh, local, and wildly sustainable. Tree nuts are an extremely environmentally efficient way to produce protein and a healthy way to snack. Read our blog post about nuts here.
Until our own orchards are producing we are selling direct sourced English and Organic nuts from small growers.
Buy sweet nuts in shell, or pre-order for green and wet nuts to receive a rare treat of fresh nuts during harvest for fresh eating or pickling.

About Us
Lightfoot’s is a small family run farm in the New Forest in Hampshire.
The challenge we have set ourselves at Lightfoot's farm is to produce as much food as possible, sustainably, and with our changing climate in mind, whilst enhancing wildlife and providing a space that people can rest, play, and work.
We sell direct to consumers and encourage engagement to increase tracability and accountability and maximise the portion of revenues going back into the production system where quality and sustainability can be improved.
Our backgrounds are in agriculture, community, and international development. We’ve lived and worked in some beautiful countries including Central Asia and the Middle East.
We believe in beautiful, tasty, truly nutritious food.
Vertically farming microgreens is a way to ensure there is sustainably produced food even in dry and hot, or wet and cold periods. Its a way to deliver huge numbers of portions of vegetables from a small space.
Nut trees are a way to produce high quality protein whilst increasing carbon in the landscape which is great for nature. Nut trees improve water management and soil quality, and are twice as efficient at producing protein than pulses in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, and 300 times better than beef.
We do post our produce nationally, and deliver locally where traceability and accountability is at its best - a producer connected directly with their customer and a consumer who has the highest quality freshest food as well as enjoying the enhanced landscape that real food provides.
