a family endeavour

Hi and welcome to our farm’s website. We are a mother and daughter team that have embarked on a farming/grazier’s journey together. We are currently a couple of years in to our lifelong journey, of seriously slow grown food. The idea of what we are creating has always been with my mum and myself for many years. My mum has always had the dream of restoring our fields to wildflower meadows and I have always wanted to farm. These are dreams that started to materialise in 2019.

My mum knew that the best way for wildflowers to take hold, the land had to be managed as naturally as possible and a native breed cattle would enable this. She settled on Belted Galloway’s, but first time was spent getting the fields cattle ready.

Farming to me was about creating a way of life that I didn’t need escape from in order to relax and recover and then be able to go back to. It was about giving the animals I care for the best life possible and giving something back to nature. I wanted the animals I care for to live a natural life as possible, as stress free as possible and to eat the food nature intended them to eat. We are farming as though we are going to be here in another thousand years. and to leave the land better than when we found it.

Together we want to grow seriously slow grown, excellent quality food. We want our animals to prosper and our land to regenerate, where we all live in balance with each other. If our animals are happy and relaxed, their meat that they will eventually provide to us will be superior to anything that could be found on a supermarket shelf.

We’re not interested in paying governing bodies to prove that we are organic or 100% pasture raised. We don’t want to be a farm that is just ticking boxes to gain a certificate and pay out more money for this. We practice in an ethical and moral way to the best interest of our animals and the land, going beyond the requirements of the certification bodies. We are custodians of the land and believe it our duty to leave it in a better condition than we found it. The animals, ourselves and the land are intricately linked and  in order for each aspect to thrive our practices need to respect that balance for it to continue.
