Notes about the farm:

Low Sizergh is farmed by Richard Park. The 341 acre farm is tenanted from the National Trust. Three generations of the Park family are involved in the farm businesses. Livestock include 170 Holstein and Swedish Red dairy cows, 700 hens and 200 sheep. Over 50 local people are employed in the farm shop and café. The farm shop is a market place for over 80 local suppliers and uses the services of over 40 local businesses. The cows produce more than 1.4 million litres of milk a year from the herd. 20,000 litres are turned into cheese and 5,000 litres into ice cream. The farm also sells between 60 and 70 litres a day of raw milk direct to customers who call at the farm shop.

Onsite is mental health charity called Growing Well. There is also a 1.75 mile farm trail.

Richard Park and his sister Alison Park trained with 3LM to learn the practice of holistic management at Low Sizergh Farm.

About holistic management

Since 1985, Holistic Management has been used to regenerate soil, and is now the basis of a global movement to regenerate 1 billion hectares of grassland by 2025.

Holistic Management is a process of decision-making and planning that gives people the insights and management tools needed to work with nature; resulting in better, more informed decisions that balance economic, social and environmental considerations.

In the context of the ecological restoration of grasslands, managers practice Holistic Planned Grazing to properly manage livestock — mimicking the predator/prey relationships in which these environments evolved.
