Organic Farming

What is Organic Farming?

  • It's healthy - Organic food reveals a strong trend towards higher levels of mineral and vitamin C contents, as well as producing more antioxidants which have a beneficial effect on humans.
  • No additives are contained in organic food.
  • The high organic standards of the Soil association ensure the highest quality of soil management and animal welfare. All organic farms are inspected at least once every year.
  • Pest control is achieved through traditional crop rotations and wildlife corridors such as hedges and Beetle banks which attract predatory insects.
  • Fertility is maintained by the use of Green manures and well composted farmyard manure.
  • Genetically modified crops, synthetic pesticides and the routine use of antibiotics are all prohibited.
  • It is good for the wildlife and the environment

We will be open to the public on 10th June as part of the National farms open day.
