Crackstone Barns is Zerodig’s first commercial site. It was created on land which for 15 years had been untreated and grazed by a ‘natural herd’ of horses which had never been fed antibiotics.
The site was created from pasture in January 2020 by Luke Oakley-Smith and his band of friends and supporters (see the gallery). Luke began selling produce by May 2020, and by June he was supplying two local farm shops.
