Farming with nature
Sustainably producing delicious, nutrient-rich food.
ABOUT FIR FARM
Fir Farm is an organic mixed farm in the Cotswolds.
We are a mixed organic regenerative farm rearing native livestock in rotation with arable crops, selling our own beef, pork, flour, milk and ice cream direct to those in the Cotswolds.
Our management of the land will protect and enhance the environment, increase specie diversity and abundance and create new habitats for the flora and fauna to thrive.
HILL BARN VENUE
An ideal rural events venue
Our two converted farm buildings set in stunning Cotswold country, provide a flexible space for celebrations, meetings, photoshoots and corporate events. Its discreet elevated location makes Hill Barn the perfect private setting, whether for a family or a film crew.
MANOR FARM
A new rural business centre for The Cotswolds
Coming soon, new commercial offices & workshops to let. Renovations are underway at Manor Farm, a set of Grade II listed Cotswold stone buildings dating from 1910 and located just outside the village of Upper Slaughter.
FRESH PRODUCE
Organic whole milk
Available from the Fir Farm vending machines at the top of the Fir Farm drive in Lower Swell and at Manor Farm, near Upper Slaughter. Enjoy local organic produce in reusable 1 litre & glass bottles, straight from the farm. Our whole milk is no more than two days old, is not homogenised and from pasture fed cows, so is highly nutritious.
ON FARM SLAUGHTER
Moveable abattoir
Our moveable slaughter unit was granted its license to operate in July 2022. This will enable us to slaughter on the farm, avoiding long journeys for the animals, thereby improving welfare as well as the sustainability and quality of our meat. We are currently in the next phase of building the ancillary elements including a chilling and cutting room and are planning to hold Open Days for anyone interested when the work is complete.
Sustainable livestock
We use a rotational grazing and mixed livestock system that prioritises animal welfare and the environment.
Enhancing our environment
Working with nature, our circular farming system observes nature’s principles of diversity and balance, restoring environmental health.
Building soil health
Our way of farming uses natural processes to build soil fertility, prevent erosion and improve soil organic carbon and biodiversity.
OUR FARMING VALUES
We seek to integrate food production and nature conservation
