The farm has never been intensively farmed, and managed organically for many years. We have recorded 83 bird species (18 red listed), 21 butterfly species and 11 bat species (at least 8 roosting) to name a few! It is recognised by Natural England as being important for greater horseshoe bats and barn owls and in 2017 we discovered a maternity barbastelle bat roost of regional importance! Our Red Ruby Devon cattle are a critical part of the conservation work on the farm and thrive on our species rich grasslands. To help fund our conservation work, we sell our own organic 100% grass fed (never grain fed) beef. It is of the best quality and we have the utmost respect for it and the animal it came from. We offer guests complimentary nature and farm experiences during their stay to learn about the farm and meet some of our animals and wildlife. These are led by us (professional ecologists) and include bat walks, dawn chorus bird walks, farm safaris, moth trapping, amphibious adventures and more!
