Daylesford
Bamford started converting the family's farms in Staffordshire and Gloucestershire to organic farming.[6] This led to the opening of a farm shop and café in 2002 on the Daylesford House estate in Gloucestershire, and creation of an organic deer farm on the Wootton Lodge estate in Staffordshire.[7]
At a trade event in 2012, Daylesford Farmshop at online retailer Ocado was awarded 'best organic retailer'.[8]
