Who we are
About the farm
Cefn Coch Farm is a small upland farm of about 40 acres, nestling in a secluded valley in the Cambrian Mountains. Having never been particularly ‘modernised’ with the introduction of intensive management, and surrounded by semi-natural habitats, it retains lots of natural features and biodiversity. This makes it an ideal place to practice low-intensity, nature-friendly farming. There are many wonderful trees and shrubs of a range of ages and species on the farm, not only in the riparian woodlands, but also within the fields. Intermixed trees and pasture, known as wood pasture, has become increasingly rare as farming has become more mechanised, but scientists and farmers are now realising that there are many benefits to these systems (known as agroforestry). We are now sensitively planting more trees and hedges on the farm for the sake of the livestock and the wildlife.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
