About Eldon Farm
Eldon Farm was aquired
by the business relatively recently and is on the edge of Thetford Forest, the
land is typical of the Breckland series and is "blowaway sand". Crops
grown must either be very drought resistant or receive adequate irrigation.
The farm shop is situated next to the MiscanthusPure packaging and drying
plant. Miscanthus is grown on the land around the buildings so you can actually
see the MiscanthusPure horse bedding being grown although the crop growth varies
depending on the time of the year it reaches over 3 metres tall in late summer
and is very impressive to see.
Eldon Farm is farmed as part of the Breckland
ESA scheme, this DEFRA scheme is a 10 year agreement designed to improve conservation
within the Brecklands. Our agronomist instigated things by organising a farm audit
by Suffolk FWAG and their advice formed the basis of our ESA scheme application.
Recent conservation work here includes:
-
The use of 6 metre wide uncropped conservation areas around all field margins
next to watercourses
- Pond creation
- Hedge
planting.
- Arable reversion to grassland
helping to protect the neighbouring wet woodlands
- Reduced
cultivations and overwintering stubbles.
- A
FWAG audit and RSPB survey.
- An otter holt
was built in 2002
We would highly recommend a FWAG audit to any farmers considering entering any conservation schemes or just wanting advice on biodiversity improvement.
