Our Farm Visit to Cannerheugh farm was attended by 10 people.
Nic & Paul Renison Took us on a 2-hour tour of their farm which is situated in Renwick, on the edge of the Pennines. We looked at Recently Laid and newly planted hedgerows & trees providing both shelter for their stock & wildlife Habitat. They explained their journey into regenerative agriculture and how they went from a conventional farming mindset to thinking more outside the box.
Topics we covered included, Rotational grazing – incorporating sheep, cows & hens in to the system. The none use of fertiliser, soil health, water infiltration and tree planting – protecting newly planted saplings as well as Climate issues facing farmers today.
The visit opened really great conversation between our farmers, swapping ideas and discussing what the future of farming could look like.
