Lakeview Organic Farm

Lakeview Farm has been farmed to organic standards since 1996 and strives to be as sustainable and self sufficient as possible with the environment and wildlife given important consideration. 60 hectares are in grassland and this supports a suckler herd which is predominantly Aberdeen Angus. There are also farmyard animals including pigs, horses and many types of poultry. 20 hectares of the farm are in commercial forestry, predominantly broad leaf, and there are paths throughout which are a great amenity with a hide by the lake edge for watching wildlife. Field boundaries are predominantly stone walls; traditional cleft larch fencing is also used in key locations.
