About jord

eat

As local as possible.

Our philosophy is simple; live and eat as locally as possible.

Vegetables are grown in our gardens. Wild & farmed meat comes from the surrounding land. Fish & seafood arrive from boats working just a few miles from the coast. Fresh bread is baked daily. Honey, fruit & seasonal produce are sourced from neighbouring farms & producers.

Every meal celebrates Suffolk & East Anglia at its best.

Ark Wines at Mount Farm Vineyards.

Ark Wines is a family-run vineyard and winery based in Suffolk’s Stour Valley, founded by Hans and Amanda Engstrom at Mount Farm Vineyard. Focused on small-batch English still wines, Ark combines traditional craftsmanship with an experimental approach to winemaking.

The 15-acre vineyard grows varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Bacchus, and Gamay, with all production handled on-site from harvest to bottling. Ark is known for low-intervention methods, including unfined and unfiltered wines, as well as techniques designed to create depth, texture, and individuality.

Sustainability is central to the business, with solar-powered operations, water recycling systems, and environmentally conscious vineyard management helping minimise impact.

Blending family values, innovation, and a strong sense of place, Ark Wines is carving out a modern identity for English still wine.
