Fordhall’s Farming System

Our livestock are 100% Free Range and graze our species-rich chemical free pastures all year round. We do not use routine antibiotics or growth hormones. Neither do we house any stock through the winter, so there is no need for any additional concentrates. We farm as close to the natural lifestyle of the animal as possible, this means the animals mature slower than in conventional systems.

(see About Us) As from February 13th 2009 we are now fully certified as organic with the Soil Association. These principles include high standards of animal welfare, low levels of environmental pollution, prohibitition of Genetically Modified food, enhancement of the landscape and wildlife habitats, and most importantly soil management which maintains soil health and which does not involve the use of chemical fertilisers and sprays.
