Our farm is in conversion to organic with the Organic Trust

We leave hedges to grow above 1.5m in height providing suitable nest sites for birds

Our average field size is under 1ha which means we have many nature corridors along field boundaries for wildlife.

We don't graze field margins allowing native wildflowers and grasses to grow providing habitat for biodiversity

We have an abundance of whitethorn, blackthorn, hawthorn, gorse and bramble which provide pollen for the bees and food for the birds

All watercourses are fenced off and livestock have alternative water supplies

Birds and bats are always allowed to nest in our barns and outbuildings

We do not spread slurry or chemical fertilisers

We do not use pesticides

We farm a rare traditional breed of cattle

We have small woodland plots which are only lightly grazed in the spring and autumn

We do not use toxic rodenticides

We rest some meadows and pastures during the main flowering season allowing more flowering plants to thrive

We grow a crop for wildlife and leave it unharvested during the winter months to provide food through the winter for seed eating birds

Our farm is lowly stocked meaning we do not overgraze or poach our land

We plant a huge range of wild flowers

We are a traditional mixed farm of cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens and horticulture - not a monoculture

We mob graze our cattle and sheep which is a close to the natural behaviour of animals as you can get on a farm

We leave occasional trees and bushes to mature

25% of our farm is designated space for nature by the Department of Agriculture
