Welcome to Horner Farm
We are situated in the beautiful Porlock Vale farming between the rich exmoor coastline and the heights of Dunkery Beacon.
We farm with our environment as opposed to changing our environment for our farming system. We believe in an integrated approach where production is not removed but run in harmony with our natural world. We are recovering land that for years had been under intensive management with high inputs. We listen to our animals, grasslands and soils to make informed choices.
We run a low input and lower output system with diverse grazing of sheep, goats, cattle and chickens to rebuild diversity in the grassland swards, we have also planted wood pasture and silvopasture.
