Pioneering Suffolk research farm Wakelyns was established in 1994 by our friend and mentor the late professor Martin Wolfe to test and develop agroforesty approaches that integrate annual crops (like lentils and cereals) with trees and other perennial plants.
Martin aimed to increase diversity in fields and between fields, an approach that increases overall yields and ensures the farm is better able to cope with climatic variability, pest and disease pressures and is less dependent on inputs, like fertiliser, from outside the farm.
The farm has four agroforestry silvo-arable systems; hazel coppice, willow coppice, a fruit and nut tree system and a mixed hardwood and fruit tree system. The trees are planted in rows or as production hedges running north/south with organic crops grown in rotation within the 10-12m wide alleys.
Published by the Organic Research Centre and Woodland Trust, this booklet offers a fascinating and inspiring insight into the development, practice and legacy of Wakelyns.

We eat so many of these beautiful fresh crisp nuts. The best Brazil nuts we have ever eaten
I bought bags for all my family and we all loved the fact of being able to support the indigenous people directly. We hadn't expected to also rave about these nuts being the freshest and most delicious Brazil nuts we've ever eaten as well! Thank you for sharing this wonderful bounty from the Amazon people - directly to us in the UK!
I bought a smal jar at the local organic market and was very surprised and instant hooked! Deep rich taste and nice colouring too. We’ve been secretly smearing it on our savory sandwiches, our son of 6 loves it too :). Works perfectly with sourdough!! Hope you’ll be delivering to the NL…?
Great nutty flavour and colouring. Fantastic with chicken or fish
These black beans are incredibly creamy and full of flavour - easily the best dried black beans I’ve ever had. They cooked to perfection in just an hour, with not a single tough or undercooked bean in the pot. Unlike other brands I’ve tried, these French-grown beans from Hodmedod’s are clearly fresh, not something that’s been languishing in a warehouse for years. If this level of quality holds across the rest of the new Ferm des 3 Rois range, I’ll be a regular customer. If it remains consistent over time, I’ll keep coming back for more.
