About us

Ashley Wheeler and Kate Norman have been running Trill Farm Garden since 2010. In the first year their first son Digby was born, followed by Winstanley in 2014.

After being brought up on an organic council smallholding, Ashley studied horticulture at Reading University and pursued his interest in restoration of historical gardens for a couple of years, before finding Trill and returning to vegetable growing. For the first 10 years of running the market garden, most of the produce went to local restaurants and cafes, but in 2020 Trill started a vegetable box delivery scheme, delivering to Axminster, Lyme Regis and Seaton and the surrounding areas in Devon and Dorset. In 2021 Ash and Kate won the Young Organic Farmers of the Year. It is not just Ash and Kate who run the market garden, they have a great team with them who help run things and grow all of the produce that goes into your veg bags and help to deliver it to you. Hester, Julia, Jim, Ella, Leo and Caroline make up the garden crew.
