Our Journey Begins: Local Farming for Local Brewing
We’re thrilled to announce the next chapter at East Close Farm! From the fertile fields of Hinton Admiral Estates, we’re now growing our own regenerative grain to craft our signature ale, brewed locally with a focus on sustainability. And that’s just the beginning…
Fresh, Local, Sustainable
This homegrown grain will also go into fresh-baked goods at our bakery, which you can find at The Little Pantry – bringing the best of our farm straight to you! Join us in this exciting step toward sustainable living, and stay tuned for updates as we brew, bake, and grow together. Follow East Close Farm and Hinton Admiral Estates, and help us cultivate a greener future.

Ploughing and Sowing with Drop the Anchor Brewery
With the New Forest Tractor & Engine Club, we’ll be ploughing and sowing as part of our commitment to fully organic practices. In the coming weeks, we’ll prepare the land by clearing any new growth and getting ready to plant next year’s barley.
This adventure is new to me, but I couldn’t be more excited to get started!
If you’re passionate about agriculture, horticulture, or vintage farm machinery, we’d love to see you there. Join us for a charity event featuring vintage tractors in action, ploughing the fields – plus plenty of BBQ treats to enjoy!
