About Lannock Farm
Lannock Farm is a fifth-generation family farm on the edge of the village of Weston in North Hertfordshire, just minutes from the A1(M).
Inspired by the principles of regenerative agriculture – and as a host for Groundswell Festival – Lannock is working to restore soil health, improve biodiversity and protect water quality across 500 hectares of farmland. The team produces pasture-raised free-range eggs, sold alongside other local products in the onsite farm shop, Lannock Larder. On weekends, visitors can tuck into a Lannock Fire Cue burger – made with pasture-fed beef from the farm– served fresh from 12–4pm, Saturdays and Sundays.
The farm is also home to a growing community of resident enterprises, with workspace available for creative, food and farming-based businesses. Regular events bring people together around great food and shared ideas – including tastings, pop-ups and the much-loved Market Days.
Run by Paul, Alex and Francesca Cherry, Lannock Farm is quietly reimagining what modern countryside can be – grounded in care, shaped by enterprise, and open to all.
“Lannock Farm has grown into a hub for people who care about where their food comes from and we aim to foster this community for the benefit of anyone who lives locally.”– Alex Cherry
