Farm Wins RSPB Farming Award

How great is this, we are Highly Commended in the RSPB award for how farms interact with birds.  This shows that we farm in harmony with the environment - and also manage to produce fantastic beef and pork for sale through our farm shop.  So proud of John and Amelia for doing all this.
