About the event

Farming 220 Ha in Ross-on-Wye, looking to increase the amount of land farmed without land acquisitions by looking at all aspects of production and concentrating on enterprise stacking wherever possible.

The farm has historically grown potatoes and various vegetable enterprises and has access to irrigation from the river Wye. However, the conflict of our soil type, legacy P issues, crop rotations and topography has made us rethink our strategy when it comes to potato and vegetable production.  

A historic mixed farm which has seen the re-introduction of various livestock enterprises whilst also developing a farm shop, holiday lets and glamping. The main focus of the farm is giving something to the next generation, this includes more soil, a better environment, a diverse income stream, no debt which has all been included into the farms 100 year plan.
