Our story
Our story
At Jekka's we aim to inspire people to sustainably grow and use herbs in their everyday living, as well as providing them with the knowledge about the power of herbs.
Truly a family business
Hannah and Alistair have joined Mac and Jekka so securing the long-term future. Hannah brings her skills as an illustrator and printmaker and Alistair brings his knowledge of the environment and his passion for food.
Established in 1984
A passion that outgrew the garden in Filton in 1984 and resulted in the move to Alveston in 1987, at which time the farm was growing just 26 varieties of herbs; this has now increased to over 400 varieties. Over the last three decades Jekka’s has evolved from supplying garden centres to an online mail order business and from 2013, when we created Jekka's Herbetum and school offering master classes and tours.
Time for a change
Our New brand & logo. For those that have followed us over the past 30 years may have noticed that our original Letraset logo and name has changed from "Jekka’s Herb Farm" to simply "Jekka’s". This is to reflect the diversity of products and facilities now available at Jekka’s. Please see our timeline to see the evolution of the farm since 1984.
