Fordhall Organic Farm: Our Farming System, Foggage, organic and free range, our tenant farmer, Ben Hollins, operates a permaculture-based, organic system of outdoor grazing called ‘Foggage Farming’. This means that Fordhall’s breeding cattle and sheep live outdoors throughout the year, making them completely pasture-fed. Developed by the late organic pioneer Arthur Hollins, it was designed to move the farm away from a reliance upon costly chemical inputs after the Second World War. Arthur’s youngest son, Ben, continues to carry out this sustainable and regenerative way of rearing livestock. https://www.fordhallfarm.com/our-farming-system
