Welcome to Holt Farm blog - we are in the south west corner of beautiful Herefordshire and today the hills and valleys are blanketed in snow, so much for global warming! Last week we had our Green Tourism Business assessment which provided us with food for thought as to how we can reduce our carbon footprint.
As well as our holiday cottages situated at Holt Farm, Michaelchurch Escley, we have a farm which we run organically growing potatoes, cereals and grassland in a traditional farming rotation. The livestock enterprises are cattle and outdoor pigs.
We have just started a Higher Level Organic Stewardship scheme on some of the land so we will keep you informed as we implement the changes that will benefit the environment for example, water quality improvement as a result of fencing livestock out of streams and planting selected areas with species which will provide additional food for bird life.
