The Power of our Wetlands

Overlooking the Clyst Valley, our farmland is surrounded by unique wetlands, which are perfect for carbon-storing, and create habitats for our local wildlife. As part of our century old rotational practices, in the summer months, our Ruby Reds keep the soil fertile with their dung and encourage a new growth of grass which helps to lock and reduce carbon. During the winter months, we raise water levels of the same area that the cattle graze which helps to stimulate bio-diversity and to encourage migratory wildlife to flock and flourish.

Get into the Burns Night spirit with the best Macsween Haggis from our Master Butchers, potatoes from our fields and world-class local Dartmoor Whisky from our Drinks Cellar. If you are feeling creative in the kitchen, why not try making chicken Balmoral or a hearty haggis shepherd's pie!

If you want a rare breed to survive, you have to eat it!

By now, we’re all familiar with the concept of wild animals being driven to extinction… but what about foods? Whilst the ‘Pig’s Snout’ apple may not pluck at the heartstrings in the same way the White Rhino does, for us the prospect is equally alarming. If we’re not careful, our children will inherit a world where flavour is made in factories and provenance is a thing of the past.
