Fowlescombe is a 191 hectares (approx 472 acres) mixed organic farm in the South Hams, Devon, England some 2 miles south of Dartmoor. It is the central part of what was once an important mediaeval estate in the catchment area of the Erme. The manor house was abandoned over a century ago. The ancient field pattern and network of hedges is still substantially present, but is now farmed in an environmentally sensitive way - wildlife habitat being the priority. Our organic farm has arable land, and extensive old and modern grassland on which we keep pedigree Aberdeen Angus and Devon Ruby Red cattle and also several types of rare breed sheep, goats and chickens. |
