We are a family farm, with three generations of us currently living and working on the farm.
All our products and packaging are palm oil, petroleum and plastic free.
We work with nature as much as possible on our farm. This includes:
Planting a forest in 2006 (13 acres of Ash, Oak, Beech, Scots Pine and Sycamore); limited fertiliser use and recently planting multi-species grass swards to further reduce our use of fertilisers; large areas of farm in permanent pasture; planting 1 hectare with wild flowers and corn to support birds and insects; planting a wildflower meadow; bird and bat boxes sited around the farm.
Established hedgerows form most of perimeters around our farm and between our fields.
We are members of Origin Green and the Bord Bia Sustainable Lamb Production Scheme and are participants in the GLAS (Green Low Carbon Agri-Environment) Scheme.
