Hello and Welcome to the homepage of Highfield FarmThank you for visiting our web site - hopefully it will help you find out a bit more about what Highfield Farm has to offer you. Highfield Farm is a traditional small 118 acre mixed organic farm , owned and run by the same family since 1939. Since 1987 the farm has been certified organic by The Soil Association. |

We began converting the farm to organic standards when we became increasingly concerned about the effects of intensive agriculture upon the environment, and today it is run by the fourth generation , Ian and Lyndsay Shears and their young family. Currently Highfield Farm rears organic cattle , including native breed Gloucesters, and produces organic wheat for milling and organic barley for animal feed. We are commited to doing all that we can to protect the environment, and that is why we joined the Countryside Stewardship scheme in 1993 – which enabled us to restore over 2 kms of traditional Devon hedgerows. As of the first of November 2006 Highfield Farm has joined the Higher Level Stewardship Scheme which has replaced Countryside Stewardship. This will enable us to continue protecting wildlife and their rare habitats. Please follow the links to learn more about what Highfield Farm can offer you. |
