Life at Higher Cheristow Farm
We are blessed to work and live in such a wonderful part of England.
Higher Cheristow Farm has been run by the Heard family since Eric's father moved here in the 1950s. Today the farm is run by Eric and his wife Shelly.
They follow traditional, old-fashioned farming methods without the use of artificial fertilisers. They work in harmony with nature for the benefit of their livestock, the microbes that live within the soils and to provide a haven for wildlife and insects.
Homeopathy is used on both the land and for the cattle. A wonderful insight into an alternative form of preventative therapy with no known side effects.
In addition homemade bioferments and biodynamic formulations are used on the land to promote diversity and harmony.
Herbal leys give the cows a smorgasbord of delicious herbs, grasses and legumes.
They love the deep-rooting plants like plantain, chicory and bird's-foot trefoil, which are full of vitamins and minerals keeping them fit and healthy.
Rotationally grazing helps with carbon capture and minimises poaching in wet weather. Large fields are divided into smaller paddocks, separated by temporary electric fences.
Eric visits the cows daily and moves them into the next paddock if needed. They hop and skip and frolic and then eagerly eat their favourite delicacy.
Soil and soil organic matter are monitored to help maintain rainwater absorption leading to clean streams and rivers.
The fields are teaming with earthworms, and the plants are full of insect life.
The Hartland Peninsular boasts amazing coastline, moorland, wooded valleys, wild heath land, rolling green pasture land and many species of rare fauna and flora.
The quaint village of Clovelly with its cobbled streets is nearby.
The historic Hartland Abbey and St Nectan's Church are just down the road on the way towards the stunning Hartland Quay with its inspiring rock formations and beautiful coastline.
Docton Mill Gardens, Clovelly Court Gardens and RHS Rosemoor are a must for keen gardeners.
Nearby beautiful beaches include Speke's Mill Mouth with its dramatic waterfall, Bucks Mills, Welcome Mouth and Sandymouth.
