Welcome to Wakelyns

Welcome to Wakelyns, one of the longest-established and most diverse Agroforestry sites in the UK as we evolve into a new phase.

An oasis

Wakelyns is an oasis within the Suffolk countryside, surrounded by huge fields growing monoculture crops, mostly for animal feed and overwhelmingly dependent on agricultural chemicals.

We enjoy standing out.

We are about farm, food, people, environment and much more. All centred around our core business: Organic Agroforestry farming.

Here’s how it all started. Wakelyns has featured in the news. These are our recent newsletters. And this is some of what we have in progress right now:

  • Organic agroforestry
  • Courses and events for 2021
  • The Wakelyns Bakery
  • RealVeg Community Supported Agriculture
  • Fay Jones – The Woodland Haberdasher
  • Wakelyns farmhouse and garden holiday let
  • Agroforestry ley alley pods
  • Meadows
  • Farm art
  • pond restoration
  • Inviting people and organisations to: come and and do stuff at Wakelyns

Agroforestry Open Weekend

Fellows Farm, Fobbing Farm, Shimpling Park Farm, Maple Farm Kelsale, Wakelyns and Whitehall Farm will be open for visitors.

Agroforestry

Wakelyns is distinguished by the system of alleys and hedges that have been established over the past 25 years making it one of the oldest and most diverse organic agroforestry sites in the UK.

Our trees

In the tree rows are nearly 50 varieties of apples, pears, quinces, cherries, walnuts, hazelnuts, along with trees for timber and coppiced willow and hazel for thatching and biomass fuel.

Wolfes at Wakelyns

Wakelyn de Hartshill was apparently given this land in Suffolk in the  15th century. The farmhouse dates back to the 16th century.
