Our Latest Projects
Hedgerow Creation
We have been awarded funding from the Shropshire Hills AONB and The Woodland Trust to plant an additional 40 metres of hedgerow on the farm to connect existing corridors.
New Planting
With support from the Woodland Grant Scheme, we are going to plant approximately eight hectares of woodland next spring. This equates to roughly 12,800 trees.
Meadow Management
After receiving a detailed survey of the flora on our farm from The Shropshire Wildlife Trust, we have started managing two of our fields as hay meadows. We will have them surveyed again next spring.
A Venue for Hire
In 2018 we built a timber building inside one of our old farm sheds. With a spacious meeting area, a kitchen, two toilets, disabled access and a stunning view, it’s the perfect location for a day away from the office.

Venue Hire Testimonials
Lovely to be greeted by a warm room and a lit log burner after such a wet morning. A great place to hold a meeting, we were all very impressed and will use it again for an ‘Away Day’ event. Highly recommended.
Venue in fabulous location with excellent catering and particularly appreciated the gluten free choices.
