Had a lovely Sunday, in the welcome sunshine, setting up Audrey in the garden and taking photos of my niece and nephew eating our cream ices – think they enjoyed it to!

About Stephany
I was born in Belgium in 1978 and came to Alder Carr Farm when I was four, when my parents bought the then derelict pig farm in 1981. Over the years my parents have transformed the farm into a thriving business, growing fruit and veg, offering PYO, with school visits, farmers markets, a farmshop, craft units and tearoom.
My two sisters and I had a wonderful time growing up, but were never put under any pressure to feel we had to continue the business.
With a love of nature and a concern for the environment I went to Sheffield to study Biology, worked at the University for a year before going to study Business & The Environment at Imperial College. After 18 months working for Groundwork, providing businesses with environmental advice, I decided that what I really wanted to do was run my own ethical and sustainable business.
Realising that my parents were already making a fantastic product, but didn't have the time to give it the attention it deserved, I suggested that I come back to Suffolk and have a go at running this part of the business.
The business has flourished and in 2007 we decided to set it up as a separate business and Alder Tree was born.
