Featherfield Farm became a certified Organic farm in 2015. Since then the farm has invested heavily in increasing the insect population on the farm. Trees, bushes, shrubs, lakes, streams, bog areas and meadow areas were all enriched to give the struggling insect population a boost. There has been a massive increase in the numbers and diversity of the insects. All other wildlife has followed. Since the insects are flourishing, the bird numbers have increased dramatically. As have the frogs, newts, voles, shrews, partridge, pheasants, buzzards, red squirrels, bees etc. The farm is now alive with wildlife.

The main farm enterprise had been the rearing of Dexter beef. In recent years lamb, chicken and egg production have been added. All are certified Organic and available from the farm shop, which is open by appointment only. Just give us a quick call and we’ll be delighted to open up for you.

2019 saw Featherfield Farm awarded with the Farming for Nature award. The farm is now an Ambassador for Farming for Nature.
2021 saw another great boost for the farm when it was awarded runner up in the RDS sustainable farming awards. |
