Lou is the owner of Cragend Farm with her husband Shaun, and deals with everything from Holiday Accommodation inquiries to egg collection from the chickens; she is the social media and web design finger-tapper.
Countryside Stewardship Scheme 2018
We have spent the summer putting in 1600m of fencing as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme using a Wrag Post knocker and some muscle power - thanks to Shaun! Our special thanks goes to Roger Kagan who has been the backbone of this process.
This will mean we can do rotational grazing and also give the wildlife at Cragend Farm somewhere to live, conserving the hedgerows for ground nesting birds and other species of flora and fauna.
