Radnorshire Wildlife Trust is seeking a tenant and potential business partner to conduct edible horticulture at Pentwyn Farm.
In October 2021 Radnorshire Wildlife Trust purchased a 164-acre hill farm, Pentwyn Farm. We have a 30-year vision to increase nature at the site, demonstrating what can be achieved when nature first farming is undertaken. We want to showcase a new model for mixed farming as we move through a generational transition with the way land management is funded and supported through future subsidy and as Wales and the UK reposition themselves as a food market following our exit from the European Union. A significant part of our vision for the site is to provide an opportunity for the production of fruit and vegetables as we believe that to achieve the goals for nature’s recovery and tackling climate change set out internationally, we need to approach land management differently.
The trust are seeking Expressions of Interest from people who support our vision and wish to increase the production of sustainable fresh fruit and vegetables for short-supply chain local markets. Expression’s of Interest close: 30th January 2023.
