Jim and Jo came to Higher Hacknell in 1985 with a determination to farm, but in a way that worked with nature and not against it. So, in 1988 we started farming organically, a system which we believe offers many common-sense answers to the problems facing agriculture, the food industry and our environment. Organic standards embrace all aspects of the farming system, most especially animal welfare, wildlife conservation and food safety. We believe as strongly now, as we did back then, that for our future health and well being, it is the way forward.
