Diversified Established farm business 300-acre total land holding
Seeks either share farmer or working farm manager to take this interesting business forward.
The farm currently grows cereals and has a small sheep flock but has recently focussed on diversified events growing Christmas trees, pumpkins and running a maize and sunflower event through the summer. There are currently 10000 Facebook followers.
This has been built up over the past few years and there is considerable scope to increase the offering to the public both in food and leisure events.
