Pollardine Farm
Gatten, Shropshire
We are based in the Gatten Valley to the east of the Stiperstones in the Shropshire Hills. We are passionate about the mutual benefits of farming and nature, and we use Holistic Management to deliver this in practice.
What we do
We (Lizzie and Jane) farm together in partnership at Pollardine. Here’s an overview of what keeps us busy! If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
Farming
We are restoring the grassland at Pollardine using the principles of Holistic Management.
Venue Hire
We have a meeting space that sits 12 people with kitchen facilities, disabled access, two toilets, WiFi, and a lovely log burner!
Research
We ran a DEFRA Test & Trial from September 2020-June 2021 on digital mapping and we're now running a second on blended finance.
Websites
Lizzie builds websites for charities with the agency Hands Up as well as doing some web and digital marketing projects locally.
Charities
We love supporting Marie Curie with our Daffodil Field, and a school in Uganda through our charity, Unity is Strength.
Blog
We write about new things happening on the farm and projects we're working on from time to time, including some farm poetry!

About us
We started working together at Pollardine in 2018. It was supposed to be a short-term arrangement but we are now partners and thoroughly enjoying taking the farm in a new direction.
