Meads meadow
Due to the nature of the product being locally produced we are able to keep, "food miles" to a minimum. From growing crops to bottling, all processes happens within an 8 mile radius of our family farm in Wilstone. Bottles can be recycled and the meal left after extracting the oil is fed to our cattle. Nothing is wasted!
We have wildlife schemes across our whole farm. The aim is to protect areas of environmental importance such as habitats and water courses. Our most recent Venture is the establishment of Meads Meadow. This wild flower meadow will support the wild life in our local area, helping to create habitats and increase biodiversity.
Once established our meadow will provide a stable enriched environment where insects, birds and small mammals can thrive. To ensure our meadow remains supportive to these species, we carefully manage the meadow using our small flock of sheep to maintain a short grass height, this allows the less competitive plants to establish.
During late summer we'll make hay. The process of making hay allows seeds to fall onto the ground and re establish the following year.
