Farming for the Future
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do at Applecross Farm. We believe that farming should work with nature, not against it, ensuring that the land, animals, and ecosystem thrive for generations to come. Our approach combines traditional farming wisdom with modern regenerative practices to create a truly sustainable way of producing food.
Regenerative Agriculture
Healthy soil is the heart of a sustainable farm. We focus on building soil fertility, improving biodiversity, and reducing waste through regenerative farming methods such as:
- No-dig and cover cropping to protect and enrich the soil.
- Rotational grazing to naturally fertilize pastures and improve land health.
- Diverse planting to support pollinators, wildlife, and a balanced ecosystem.
- Organically Growing helping build soil health by fuelling essential microbes and having a zero chemical approach.
Ethical Animal Husbandry
Our livestock are raised with high welfare standards, plenty of space, and a natural diet, ensuring a better quality of life and healthier food. We avoid intensive farming methods, instead opting for slow-grown, naturally reared animals that contribute to the health of the land rather than depleting it.
Reducing Waste & Working with Nature
We take a waste-conscious approach to everything we do. From composting farm waste to repurposing materials, we aim to minimise our environmental footprint. Our food production follows the principle of using the whole animal, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Supporting Local, Sustainable Farming
Sustainability isn’t just about what happens on our farm—it’s about building a better food system. That’s why we source from small-scale British farmers who share our values, ensuring that every product we offer comes from a regenerative, ethical, and environmentally responsible source.
We work in partnership with Eddisbury Lodge Farm for their Pedigree Aberdeen Angus Cattle.
Farming for Tomorrow
By choosing sustainable, locally produced food, you’re helping to support healthier soils, higher animal welfare, and a food system that respects the environment. At Applecross Farm, we’re committed to growing, raising, and sourcing food in a way that protects the land for future generations—because real sustainability starts from the ground up.
