English Oak Vineyard Wines
Lytchett Matravers 5.6 miles from Lake Yard

On land that was previously lush pasture, the family of Sarah and Andrew Pharoah, with daughters Claudia and Amelia, planted the vineyard in 2007, taking inspiration from a chance meeting with a charismatic vineyard owner in the mountains of Cyprus.

Building on Sarah’s previous experience in horticulture they qualified in viticulture at Plumpton College in Sussex, before contracting the experience and expertise of winemaker Dermot Sugrue to the team. Dermot’s well equipped winery, featured on the BBC’s Oz and James TV series, has the benefit of a traditional Coquard press, a type used extensively in Champagne to optimise quality, something that is a key part of English Oak's commitment to produce only the best. Together, Dermot's skills experience and reputation as a winemaker and Sarah’s excellent vineyard husbandry combine to create something truly special, lovingly and painstakingly crafted from the vine to the bottle, for your pleasure.

English Sparkling Wine is gaining an enviable reputation worldwide, something to which we are committed to playing our part. We invite you to discover why and to switch your wine buying choices away from big, impersonal and high carbon miles, to a local supplier who you can get to know and trust first hand. We hope that you will take up our invitation and look forward to meeting you soon.

The Purbeck Cider Company Kingston, Corfe Castle
13.2 miles from Lake Yard

The Purbeck Cider Company was born in 2006 when Joe returned from farming and travelling around New Zealand, and decided that Dorset deserved its own cider and apple juice!

Nestled on the Dorset Jurassic coastline, on the family farm – Joe busily set to work planting an orchard of some traditional Dorset apple varieties including Woodbine, Tom Putt, and good old Slack Ma Girdle.

The fields he used for his orchards were formerly grazed by Fresian cows producing the milk and cream for the highly acclaimed Purbeck Ice Cream.  Now Joe’s sheep meander and munch through the trees grazing upon the plushest grass, filling the orchard with the sweet and heady scent of juicy apples amongst the softly buzzing bees, leaving  the neighbouring  farms to fill the milk tanks.

So - using nothing but enthusiasm,  fresh air and these beautiful Dorset apples, Joe bustles away in the shadow of Corfe Castle developing his very own delicious cider and apple juice.

Brookfield Farm
Tarrant Valley 14.6 miles from Lake Yard

All of our veal calves are born and reared on farms in the West Country, including our own, situated in the idyllic Tarrant Valley in Dorset.
The calves are carefully reared on straw bedding in groups, for up to 8 months with completely unrestricted access to food, barley straw and water. An average veal calf will grow to around quarter of a tonne. Welfare of our animals is paramount and their wellbeing and contentment is our principal consideration. All of our farms have been audited and accredited by the RSPCA through its Freedom Food organisation. We are also proud to have won an animal welfare award from Compassion in World Farming. Male calves are an inevitable by-product of the dairy industry and are largely unwanted for conventional beef production. Our calf rearing programme therefore provides a long term and sustainable solution.
The colour of veal meat is pale pink and once cooked is very tender. It has the subtle, sublime flavour of mild beef.

Stoate & Sons
Cann Mills Shaftesbury 28.2 miles from Lake Yard

Brothers William and Thomas Stoate started the family off down the path of flour milling in 1832 taking on the lease of a mill at Watchet in Somerset.

Their father John Stoate had been a maltster and a tanner and there was a background of farming in the family all based around this part of the West Country so milling was not too far detached. The business prospered both with local trade and also in satisfying the growing demand for flour in South Wales. Sailing ketches would transport the flour across the Severn (and return with coal!) while horse and cart took care of the local deliveries. By 1877 Thomas had left the business to become a successful grain merchant and William was joined by two sons, William and John and later a third son James.

In 1912 the business had outgrown the Watchet site and a new mill was built at Temple Back in Bristol. By this time the huge demand for white flour meant that the ‘roller milling’ system had taken over from the traditional method of grinding the corn between stones.My grandfather Leonard Stoate (son of James Stoate) was the technical director of this new mill and saw the enterprise grow through much transformation and expansion of market area.
The business amalgamated with Spillers in 1933 but the family were still actively involved in operations. Brothers David and Norman (sons of Leonard Stoate) carried the family into its fourth generation of milling. My father, Norman Stoate, started out on his own at Cann Mills (the present site) in 1947 taking on what was a country mill supplying animal feed to the many local farmers. Cann Mills was recorded in the Domesday Book and one of five mills within a mile on The Sturkel, a tributary to the River Stour.
In 1970 the business returned to its roots producing stoneground flour using French Burr millstones primarily driven by a late 19th Century iron waterwheel powered by the river Sturkel.
Over 170 years later, now in its fifth generation, Stoate & Sons is still producing quality stoneground flour supplying both the domestic and bakery trade throughout the West Country and beyond. The growth in popularity for traditionally produced artisan breads and the increased desire towards home baking has helped this authentic flour milling legacy to continue along its path.
Michael Stoate is a fifth generation miller (and also an avid sailor!)
