Short profile:
We are a small family run dairy farm in the parish of Stanthorne in the county of Cheshire in the northwest of England UK. The farm is part of the " Bostock Estate" which has been owned by the same family since the early 1800s and the estate is mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1086 and Smallwoods have farmed Greenheyes since 1953. I am the third generation to hold the tenancy of Greenheyes in my family and I live here with my Wife and 2 children. The aim of the site is to show our farm to anyone who wishes to look and/or learn about farming. The site was launched in November 1999 and at time of writing it consists of approximately 200 pages and close to 900 active links
Detailed description:
GREENHEYES is a small, family run, dairy farm, located in the heart of the county of Cheshire, England. This is a national countryside conservation scheme which offers financial assistance to landowners and farmers who are prepared to help in actively conserving the countryside, its wildlife and historic features and, in appropriate cases, to offer the public the opportunity to see and appreciate what is happening to the land. At Greenheyes the scheme covers the Middle and Heifer Banks, the River Dane and a Pond situated within Key Field.
The Greenheyes site is listed as a Site of Biological Interest (SBI), and has a wide variety of both flora and fauna. The CSS can also be educational.
The picture on the left is of Thomas Strech from Middlewich County High School who is presently on a works experience placement with us. Thomas says he didn't realise that hedges started from such small beginnings as he helped me plant the latest 108m length of hedge.
