Sustainable Farming
One of the biggest things that we are
extremely proud of is that we are looking
after our soils, and animals the best possible way to
ensure a long and better future for generations to come.
We believe we play an important role to be environmentally responsible, with reducing our fertiliser, chemical, and tractor hours it’s had a huge impact in lowering our input costs. The compose, minerals, and what we like to call “bug food” that we now use is cost effective and improving our soils bio diversity.
We found that if we can “farm” the microbes in our soil correctly the rest all compounds and we have found we can grow better grass and for longer, it has improved our animals health and fertility rates.
