Honeydale Farm

Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire

Honeydale Farm is home to FarmED, a 107 acre diverse mix of low input arable, grass and permanent pasture. They grow a wide range of crops and leys, such as sainfoin, heritage wheat, rye, complex herbal leys, along with other crop trials. The grassland and leys are managed by a mob grazing 'flying flock' of ewe lambs. The farm is also home to a community supported kitchen garden, apiary, heritage orchard and natural flood management scheme.

Tree Planting
1,964 trees planted

In partnership with FWAG South West and The Tree Shop, Protect Earth planted three shelterbelts at Honeydale Farm with the intention of helping to teach farmers about more sustainable practices when it comes to the re-wildification of unfarmed, unfarmable land. We hope that by teaching those who want to learn, Protect Earth will be able to encourage rewilding efforts on a more substantial level.

In total we planted a wide variety of 1064 trees and shrubs. Species planted: Crab Apple, Bird Cherry, Rowan, Field Maple, Downy Birch, Aspen, Alder, Hornbeam, Black Poplar, Scots Pine, Hawthorn, Guilder Rose, Hazel, Grey Alder, Grey Willow, Privet, Alder Buckthorn, Wild Cherry, Goat Willow, Crack Willow and Osier Willow. These will do a great job of feeding and sheltering local wildlife and will boost biodiversity in the area.
