Our Six Pillars of Focus
At The Good Herdsmen, we’ve directed our focus at six key pillars which we believe are at the heart of every successful organic pasture based farming system.
1. Soil Health
This is where it all begins. Healthy soils are the
foundation of a thriving ecosystem.
2. Livestock Welfare
Steers and heifers grazing outdoors in their natural environment for most of the year.
3. Crop Diversity
Clover coupled with combination crops like peas, oats and barley keep our cattle and land nourished.
4. Biodiversity
Rewilding areas of our land helps our environment
remain balanced through its natural rhythm.
5. Water quality
Recycling water, ensuring good filtration and keeping our water supply pristine.
6. Farmer Education
We believe in spreading the word. Partnering with respected industry bodies to host farm visits and training sessions to show other farmers the potential of having a successful organic enterprise.
