Our small 20 acre farm is located in a quiet
valley in hilly rural landscape. Our fields are all herb rich permanent
pasture divided by ancient hedgerows. We aim to farm in balance with nature
and increase biodiversity. We farm organically and are accredited with the
Soil Association. We are
part of Tir Gofal, an agri-environmental programme. As part of that
programme we have fenced off a streamside corridor, restored a large part of
the hedgerows and built an otter holt.
