Winter on the farm is always a time for routine. With nearly 1000 cows to feed the logistics of getting food to them and getting the inevitable “waste” away becomes a major operation. On the whole we try to feed and litter the cows on Monday, Wednesday and Friday leaving the other two days for other jobs.

"We recently hosted the CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) for their annual farm walk. Thirty members enjoyed a trip round the estate looking at how large scale agriculture can fit in with a strong focus on the environment, and how symbiotic the relationship between the two is"
Hi Ben
Some photos for your records!
Many thanks for giving us your time today. The visit was a great success. I hadn't realised that Iford Farm sits in such a stunning location. Everyone commented on how much they had enjoyed the tour.
Best Wishes
