New & Old
Traditional values & new technology…
While we are very keen to maintain many traditional values (such high standards of hedge cutting & keeping on top of wall repairs) we have taken up many aspects of modern technology (such as GPS mapping) to keep us ahead with cost savings & efficiency.
There is an emphasis on conservation and we enjoy sharing with future generations what farming is about. We meet the rigorous environmental standards set by the farm’s LEAF Audit and LEAF MARQUE (LEAF is Linking Environment and Farming) which is in addition to our Farm Assurance standards (meaning our products can be sold with the Red Tractor Logo).
Events
2011 has been an exciting year with events including “Lambing Live”, Open Sunday and Countryside Foundation for Education. We have even shared our 2011 harvest with you through 30 posts on Farmer Jakes You Tube channel!http://www.youtube.com/user/No1FarmerJake
