Conservation

Tom’s father Michael began organic conversion in the year 2000 and, after a two-year period where no artificial fertilisers or sprays were used, the first organic beef and cereals were sold.

This began our drive to farm with the environment in mind. The fields have wide hedge and grass margins for the benefit of wildlife, along with large areas given over to plants for wild bird food and pollinator areas for the benefit of bees.

Complementing Conservation

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) presents us with an opportunity to create and restore habitats on land that has little production value. BNG compels property developers to deliver a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain to get planning consent and is the measurable improvements on the biodiversity value of land after construction.

Given the nature of our farmland, our location within Buckinghamshire and proximity to Milton Keynes we are working with Civity to offer BNG units to developers within the locality.
