Burnt Fen farm in Norfolk is a hymn to seasonal happiness
The sun is rising over Burnt Fen, an arts and crafts house built in 1927, set in 280 acres of Norfolk countryside and surrounded by the romantic Broads. Alfie Nickerson, 28, comes bombing along a tree-lined lane on his trusty “gator”, wearing a colourful striped T-shirt – a girlfriend’s cast-off – and a pair of bright-orange swim shorts that have seen better days. In his mouth is a roll-up cigarette and nestled on his lap is his long-haired blond dachshund, Wolfie.
I don’t know if it’s because Alfie works with biodynamic principles, or if the soil and the climate in Norfolk are just extraordinary, but often in the past when we have bought British it was all a bit short and didn’t really last. But Alfie’s flowers grow very tall and last a long time.” Perhaps it’s because it’s not just about the flowers. “I wanted to create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem that supports not only bees but all forms of wildlife,” he says.
