Grove Farm is a 92-acre farmstead above Blagdon Lake in the Mendip Hills. This ambitious projects aims to restore the site as a mixed-use, organic regenerative farm after decades of decline under its previous dairy use. Cooke Fawcett were appointed to develop a design strategy for the farmstead, centred on the repair, adaptation and selective replacement of an informal cluster of agricultural barns and structures, alongside the removal of redundant infrastructure including a disused slurry tank. The vision is for a financially, socially, and environmentally sustainable farming model — diverse in enterprise, rooted in the character of the landscape, and oriented toward habitat creation, rural employment, and community food education.
