Their cows are not pushed too hard to produce milk and have lived up to 16 years of age. As an organic farm, they only use antibiotics and hormones when absolutely necessary rather than routinely as with some conventional systems. In the even that they do use antibiotics, the milk from the cow must be kept from human consumption for double the time allowed in conventional farming. Homeopathy has often been a worthy replacement for more conventional medicine.

They take organic farming principles very seriously. A large proportion of the concentrate feeds (e.g wheat) fed to the cows are grown on the farm. They do not use chemical sprays or inorganic fertilisers. Instead they manage weeds and diseases using traditional crop rotations and fertilise the soil with animal manures and nitrogen from clovers and other legumes. The farm has now been organic for over 15 years and the difference in wildlife, in particularly in the soil, is significant.
