We offer a wide range of high quality wild bird food, bird feeders and accessories and supply you direct from our farm. We grow as much of our bird seed as possible, and every sale supports the vital work of The Wildlife Trusts.
At Vine House Farm we offer you unrivalled combination of superb quality, outstanding value for money and genuine environmental credentials. All three of those points have something in common: they’re driven by the fact that we grow much of our bird seed right here on our wildlife-friendly farm, then supply our customers direct. So let’s look at those three points in a little more detail...
You probably already know that not all bird food is the same, with a huge variation in quality across the market and with this not necessarily reflected in the price – i.e. expensive doesn’t always mean the best!
At Vine House Farm, we control the quality from the time we sow a seed into the ground on our own farm, right up to the point we pack products like our mixed seed and send it direct to our customers. For products such as sunflower hearts, which we have to import, we’re very fussy about quality and always ensure we buy the best available for your garden birds.
With all of our operation right here on the farm, it means our costs are less than many other bird food brands – some of which have separate call centres, packing facilities and distribution centres. So less cost means lower prices on bird feeders, accessories, seed, seed mixes, suet blocks, fat balls and nest boxes for our customers.
But if all of that wasn’t enough, our environmental credentials set us head and shoulders above our competition for three main reasons:
- Our entire farm – which is over 2000 acres – is run in a wildlife friendly way. So much so that we’ve received many awards for our visionary policies and conservation work.
- By keeping our operation all at the farm, growing as much of our bird seed as we can, then supplying our customers direct, our carbon footprint is typically lower than that of other bird food companies of a similar size.
- We give 5% of our takings to The Wildlife Trusts – a figure which we take the hit on and not a penny of that cost is passed on to our customers. Why do we do that? Because we think it’s the right thing to do, and an extension of the philosophy which drives Vine House Farm Bird Foods.
