What a fantastic visit we had to Hopes Ash Farm nr Ross on Wye this morning! Thanks so much to Harry Davies who led us round and told us about the family business. The 250 ha mixed farm with dairy, beef finishers, broiler chickens, arable and some cider fruit was impressive. We enjoyed seeing the cows and robots, AD plant, young stock and slurry store. Many of the group went on to enjoy a bite to eat at the Weston Cross inn after. A grand day out! Thanks to Bryan, Jean, Robert, Rachel & Harry for taking the time to host our summer visit. ☀️🐄
