Our farm land

The Wild Bird Gallery

The meadows have many old plant varieties, which is home to many different animals or the Wild Stock
We have about 38 acres of land mainly down to pasture and 5 acres of woodland. The fields are full of old grass varieties because no one has sprayed Herbicide on them for years, so we have a much higher percentage of wild herbs which the sheep love. This makes wonderful Hay. Underdown Moor is not an "Organic" farm but it is a low input farm.  Low Herbicide, NO chemical fertilizer and therefore a  low carbon farm.  We are trying to preserve the Culm grassland using gentle "land management" with help from Devon Wildlife Trust.
