ABOUT RANDOM DIGIT LIMITED

The long association of my family with Birdineye began in 1908 when John Berry moved here as a tenant of the Buxted Park estate. Although farming has changed enormously over the years (as has life itself) we are proud that today John's great great great grandchildren are growing up here over a century on.

In the year 2000 I finally had to get rid of the milking herd. I still miss the cows but not the financial worries that come with them. Many of the redundant farm buildings were converted into workshops and now house a variety of small businesses including of course our own shop.

Selling our produce through the shop is really satisfying. Bringing traditionally produced, high quality goods direct to the consumer. Cutting out the middle man and giving an alternative to the modern supermarket culture is very rewarding. And of course...producing our own homegrown meats gives me the excuse to remain close to my first love...farming.

What would Great Grandfather have made of it all? Well I like to think that he would have recognized the quality of the traditionally grown produce. He may have raised an eyebrow at some of the changes to the farm, but I am sure he would be pleased to see we are still here as a family run, farm based business.
