More Information:
The Hughes intensively farm their 30-acre property, using 12 greenhouses and cultivated fields. However, their farming is done in close relationship with the natural ecosystems. Cultivation includes crop rotations, greencovers, intercropping, mulching, chicken ‘tilling’, and a lot of diversity in types of crops. They leave the hedgerows, forest and pond in their natural condition to provide habitat for beneficial birds and insects. Many native species thrive on Kildara farm including wild roses, hawthorn, snowberry, fir, maple and a copse of endangered Garry Oak trees.
