Thirty Acres

What's happening in the field?

The adult pigs have moved onto here. We made silage in here last summer – this is what you can see the pigs eating out of the racks. We grow 2 years of a herbal ley which is a mixture of grasses, clovers and some deep rooted plants. This crop is silaged in the first year and the pigs move on in the second year. It’s all part of our crop rotation!

Field Description

This has kept its name despite being divided during the sale of the Farmhouse and no longer being 30 acres! It was converted to organic status in 2000. The field has a deep dip in the centre where weeds love to grow!
