Farming

Here at Greener for Life, we take an old fashioned view on farming where mixed farming is at the forefront of our thinking. We enjoy the variety and benefits of adopting such a system even down to growing our veg, having the pigs clear up the garden in the winter, milking the cows, lambing the sheep, chasing the beef cattle on the moor to growing the crops on the land. Every aspect is wonderful where each sector compliments one another, reduces our reliance on imported goods to the farm and supporting all types of wildlife from the deer that graze our land to the humble dung fly living in the cow pats. Its nice to see the swallows and house martins arriving each year eating the rich abundance of insects due the cattle around the farm. This is what makes our eco system tick.
