Nurture

Notes and Recipes from Daylesford Farm



Step inside Daylesford and discover the principles for a sustainable, holistic, conscious way of life.

Over 40 years ago, Carole Bamford began a journey towards a more conscious way of life. What began as a desire to make a small difference to the health and future of our planet has grown from a collection of empty barns, bare fields and a small herd of dairy cows, to become Daylesford Organic, one of the most sustainable farms in the UK.

Nurture tells the story of how and why it all began and brings to life the principles, ideas and beliefs that have made Daylesford what it is today. From sustainable farming to holistic health, Nurture shares Carole Bamford’s vision for a more mindful way of life and how we can all nourish our bodies, mind and spirit in a simple and balanced way.

At the heart of Daylesford is its connection to the land and the book also celebrates the bountiful organic produce it reaps with a selection of seasonal recipes. Packed with flavour and nourishing ingredients, choose from colourful salads and hearty stews, indulgent puddings, meals for special occasions and food for those times when you need an additional boost of nutrients.

Nurture is a celebration of the bounty that nature provides, and a reminder that we must all take care of the land we live off, so that future generations can enjoy its riches too.

Praise for Nurture

Lady Carole Bamford and Daylesford Farm have really influenced my career and the way I think about food. They still continue to inspire me today for many reasons. When I went to work for the Bamfords in my mid twenties, my whole world came from fancy 3* Michelin cooking after years in France. Carole made me stop and think and appreciate not just the joy of food but also the journey of food to the table. Her imagination and eye for styling and decorating is second to none and I especially treasure her ability to create memories of a meal by bringing all the seasons into the table settings and the whole experience. The way she decorates her dinner tables is the most captivating I have seen with a real sense of stylish simpleness yet that special attention to detail. All this has been beautifully captured in the new book, Nurture. A real treat to readers to be part of her exciting journey...

When I finally grow up, I want to be Carole. Her vision, taste, authenticity and integrity are second to none.

Claudia Schiffer

I am so thrilled that Carole has decided to share the marvellous story of Daylesford. She is an inspiration; encouraging us to reflect on how we view food and how it is produced, how we look after ourselves through diet, wellness and the importance of taking time to relax. We could all truly benefit from embracing, even a little, of Daylesford’s world and ethos.
