Maintain and improve wild habitat on the farm increasing biodiversity.
Bachilton Barn is over 150 years old. The farm has been in the England family now for 3 generations and was originally famous for its potato farming. Bachilton remains a working arable farm, growing various grains like rapeseed, wheat and peas.
We do have natural herbivore grazers like sheep and cows from friendly neighbouring farms who come and graze to help Farmer Dave keep the grass down! Since we moved into the wedding and events industry in 2001, we have worked to retain habitats and encourage wildlife on our farm wherever possible.
