Tillingham's philosophy would be best summarized as progressive: incorporating what they know of the best scientific and technological knowledge available to them, whilst championing ancient traditions and best practice learnt from millennia of farming and winemaking.

Tillingham is committed to farming in a diverse, poly-cultural way. They believe this is not only a highly sustainable approach, but in conjunction with biodynamics, aims to restore soils to an optimum level of organic matter and microbial and wider ecological diversity.
