Farmer James Holland returned from college to find his father's farm (originally with 1100 head of cattle) suffering from the hard economic environment


James rebuilt the farm to what it is now by first adopting modern ideas and techniques and then turning the farm organic

He started the organic conversion in 2000 achieving accreditation in 2002. James currently has a breeding programme introducing Ayrshires into the herd


As well as going for Land Stewardship Scheme entry level, James has also designed a computer programme to help him with his Soil Association paperwork
