Growing potatoes at Holt Farm

We have organic potatoes growing at Holt Farm. The lifting equipment has all been serviced and any worn parts replaced and the first order for potatoes has been loaded off the farm. Take a look at the harvester in action with the holiday cottages in the background.
Another short clip is taken from the tractor cab so a much closer view.


At Holt Farm we have been busy with guests arriving and leaving the cottages. It is our privilege to welcome visitors from all over the UK, and recently we have had folks from France Belgium and Australia.
Many of the visitors come to walk the really good local footpaths here in the Welsh Borders and some do such long walks that I feel tired listening as they recount their journey. Some climb the Black Mountains near by whilst others head off to the Brecon Beacons for more demanding hikes. [See www.herefordholidays.co.uk/activities.php for downloadable local walks]



Some folk enjoy looking at the local castles, cathedrals and historic churches.
Many visitors enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Escley valley, sitting out in the sun drinking coffee and reading the paper.
All of our visitors enjoy a trip to Hay on Wye with it's old castle and numerous book shops. It also has a good selection of cafes and pubs.
We are very fortunate to live in such an area and talking to our visitors reminds us that we should be more grateful for the place we call home.
