Hall Farm Eastoft has been farmed by the Coulman family for some 150 years or
more and over time the land has produced a wide range of arable crops and been
home to cattle, pigs, chickens and more recently alpacas. Extending to around
235 hectares (575 acres) of land the farm grow wheat, oilseed rape, sugar beet,
potatoes and grass, as well as maintaining an extensive environmental scheme to
enhance the natural habitat. It is important to us to farm to the highest
environmental, sustainable and welfare standards which means we subscribe to a
range of key industry standards and generate much of our energy and resources
from sustainable sources. As members of Red Tractor Assurance schemes for both
crop production and our pig production, as well as Freedom Food, British Quality
Pork and Global Animal Partnership schemes for our pigs, we ensure that all our
produce meets high production standards and enters the food chain. We generate
all our power from our Solar PV system, powering lights, feed systems, grain
driers and our vehicles and use a Biomass boiler to provide heat. In addition,
around 90% of our water use is either borehole sourced or from rainwater
harvesting ensuring we minimise our use of mains, treated water and rely on
naturally produced water. The farm has hosted educational visits for many years,
supported by Natural England’s environmental schemes, and has developed this
educational support since 2017 into a social farm engaging with young people and
adults, empowering them to develop skills to enrich their learning, wellbeing
and social life. With our focus on sustainable, environmentally friendly farming
coupled with our increasing community of social farmers, here at Hall Farm
Eastoft we aim to provide a community farming operation benefiting the
environment and the local community.
