Jenny has lived in the Old Farm House on the wild and rugged Dalton Moor since 1992.

The house is about 400 years old and the stone barns may be older still.

Jenny bought some land around the house in 2011 and some more in 2015, and set about bringing wildlife back to the featureless ex-arable land.

With her husband Tom and help from Philip, the farm lad, Jenny has restored a diverse habitat across the farm.

She has protected the land with fences, reinstated ditches, planted many miles of fruitful hedges and thousands of trees, dividing up the land into smaller paddocks to create differing habitats that link together.

Along with several 'Newt' ponds, and wet areas, these combine to form a diverse ecosystem that

Mother Nature can sustain into the future.

She has recently added approximately 108 acres of native mixed woodland to the farm holding,

with the intention that this will be protected as woodland into the future.

From a very young age, Jenny has been fascinated by apples, trees and all things nature.

She has yearned to have an orchard, with all its fruits and wildlife, and also wanted to make 'real' Cider.

She planted her first orchard in 2013 and three more in 2019.​

From Apples and other cultivated and foraged fruits and herbs, Jenny makes a range of delicious and unusual

Vegan Drinks and preserves.

Jenny is passionate too about sharing knowledge and experience, to bring people closer to nature, to empower them to become more independent, more self-reliant, to live more sustainably, to create community, and to move away from the

ego-centric, heavily dependent, plastic packed, all-consuming, environmentally damaging, emotionally unrewarding, throwaway society that has increasingly become the norm today.

The School of Sustainable Living and Wellbeing was established in 2020 and offers a range of fun,

educational experiences for all ages and abilities.
