About
The farms are owned by Graham Birch and Margaret Scribbins. We've been farming here in Dorset for over a decade. Our business skills coupled with Farm Manager Scott Bagwell's farming know-how have allowed us to update the infrastructure and bring in the latest farming methods.
We fully utilise precision farming techniques which minimise waste and optimise inputs and crop outputs. The results are clear - with improving yields and higher commitment to the environment.
Leanne Bagwell is the farm secretary and she helps Scott with the smooth running of the system. She also organises the holiday cottages and deals with day to day problem solving.
Graham works with Scott to develop the vision for the farms. He is particularly interested in conservation issues. He believes in scientific farming and is a previous Vice Chair of Rothamsted and the current Chair of the Lawes Agricultural Trust
