Ballingham Court Farm is a fifth-generation family farm nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley. Run by Henry and Esther Rudge alongside their son Monty, the farm has been in Esther’s family for over 100 years. With a deep respect for the land and a commitment to sustainable farming, Ballingham Court is home to cattle, sheep, orchards, crops, and thriving wildlife habitats. Here, tradition meets innovation, and every season brings something new to share.
