THE BAMFORD COLLECTION
Daylesford, Bamford, and our hospitality group are part of an extraordinary group of businesses, based at Daylesford Organic farm in the heart of the Cotswolds.
Daylesford Organic - The seed that grew into Daylesford Organic was sown over forty years ago when Carole Bamford recognised the importance and benefits of organic farming. What began as a simple passion for real food and a desire to feed our children better has grown into Daylesford as we know it today, one of the most sustainable farms and food retailers in the UK. A year after opening, Daylesford began making and sourcing household goods and homewares, a range that now encompasses a dedicated garden space and plant nursery. Daylesford’s flagship farmshop in the Cotswolds is complemented by 4 farmshops and cafes in central London, and a growing ecommerce platform. Bamford – from its foundations offering sustainable body care, skincare, clothing and home, Bamford has grown into a wellbeing brand offering beautiful, effective, and ethical products in stores and across its range of spas.
Daylesford Stays - our hospitality division encompasses a collection of traditional Cotswold-stone cottages and modern British Inns; existing pubs The Wild Rabbit, The Fox at Oddington and The Maytime Inn will be joined by a further pub in the collection this year.
