Our underlying goal is to produce healthier food whilst reducing our reliance and usage of chemicals for the benefit of our customers and the environment. The activities on the farm fall under three main areas: farming, contract farming and livestock.

Livestock

Livestock are back after a gap of 15 years. We have introduced a herd of Pedigree Aberdeen Angus that live outside all year, feeding on river valley grass in the summer and on rotational grass & silage in the winter. Only bulls that are DNA tested for eating quality and are top grade are used in the herd. These cattle are being marketed as a premium product, and we are planning to expand the herd

considerably.

We also run a small Dun Galloway suckler herd on Grove Farm, our hill farm in the Lake District. These are marketed to supply the local speciality butchers shops in the area.
