Sustainability at Fell House Farm
Staying here helps shape a wilder, greener future
At Fell House Farm, sustainability isn’t a side project - it’s woven into everything we do. From the way we care for the land to how we build our cabins, every choice is guided by one goal: to live and farm in harmony with nature.
We believe in working with the land, not against it - and we’re proud to be creating a space where biodiversity can thrive, carbon can be captured, and people can experience the beauty of truly low-impact living.
Sustainable Farming
Our farm is home to pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle and a small flock of rare Dorset Horn sheep - grazing gently on carefully managed pasture. We use minimal artificial fertilisers or harsh chemicals, and our rotational grazing methods help support:
-
Soil health and regeneration
-
Native plant and wildflower growth
-
Nesting grounds for birds and pollinators
Hedges & Woodlands
We’re actively planting native hedgerows and trees across the farm - creating wildlife corridors, shelter for animals, and long-term carbon sinks. Every hedge and tree helps:
-
Promote biodiversity
-
Provide food and habitat for birds and insects
-
Capture and store carbon naturally
Wildlife Conservation
We manage our land not just for farming, but for the species that live here too. That includes:
-
Creating mosaics of habitats through light grazing
-
Maintaining wet areas for amphibians
-
Protecting nesting grounds for rare and native birds
