Court Lodge Organics

David and Marian Harding, Court Lodge Organics, produce sublime healthy drinking yoghurts, yoghurt-based smoothies and pouring yoghurts, using organic milk from the pedigree Holstein herd on their 222-hectare organic farm in the Pevensey levels in East Sussex.

The Harding family were named as the SE regional winner of the RSPB's Nature of Farming Awards last year for the outstanding work they do helping wildlife on their farm. The farm provides habitat for declining and threatened wildlife including lapwings, fen-raft spiders, herons, barn owls, and a range of dragonflies. The Hardings have also planted rare black poplar trees in their woods, and are attempting to recreate an area of reedbed to encourage rare and elusive species like bitterns and marsh harriers. Yellowhammers, linnets and skylarks are found in good numbers on the farm, despite UK populations plummeting by half over the past thirty years.
