The farm is a commercial operation which extends to over 200 hectares, providing arable, pasture and conservation areas, while being home to a number of specialist livestock enterprises. Over £1 million has recently been invested in developing the farm, as it positions itself not only as a leading provider of agricultural training and education, but also as one of the most innovative dairy farms in the region.
