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.
