Cranborne Estate Tour

The team at Cranborne Estate, Dorset, warmly invite Isle of Wight farmers to a tour of the 1,600ha in-hand mixed farm, including lunch at the Cranborne Garden Café.

The tour will take in some of the farm’s prime arable land, downland and woodland. The team will demonstrate how conventional food production sits alongside stewardship habitats and conservation projects to recover wildlife, soil health and water quality, and how they have worked successfully at a landscape scale with tenants and neighbouring farmers.

This event is kindly funded by the Isle of Wight National Landscape.

Booking is essential so we can arrange carpool and ferry. Please RSVP by 14th June with dietary requirements to: Robyn Munt rmunt@farmwight.co.uk 07920 409 343
