Farming enterprises

 We started with a flock of native breed Whitefaced Woodland sheep. Though we will always have a few "Woodies" around to clean up the courser grass, we now buy store lambs in the autumn to finish on deferred grass and hay over the winter. 

Now ending our second year finishing store cattle, our main focus is on the Belted Galloway breed. The BGs are particularly well suited to grazing the diverse, species-rich grassland being established here. 

Our aim is to produce high quality, nutrient-dense food from feeding only grass and hay.

In 2026, we have begun supplying a local butchery that sources meat for high-end restaurants.

 Silage was produced on the farm for many years. We have now switched to hay, which we sell to local farmers, as well as making a few direct sales. Due to unpredictable weather and reliance on contractors, hay production here is a risky business.
