Farming through generations

The farming operations have been the Estate's core business for generations. Today it manages and cultivates a diverse range of crops from cereals, oilseed rape, linseed, beans, combined with the rearing of beef cattle, to run a truly mixed farming operation.

The farms are heavily involved in promoting the local enviroment through various government schemes such as the Countryside Stewardship Scheme to create features such as beattle banks, which are integrated with existing farming activities like the planting of cricket bat willow sets.
