The Environmental Stewardship schemes Entry Level Scheme (ELS), Higher Level Scheme (HLS) and Organic Entry Level Scheme (OELS) [see grant funding] are valuable sources of funding which few farms can afford to overlook.

We have been successful with many applications, even ones which other consultants have said would not be accepted. This is because we understand the importance of talking to the right people, obtaining expert advice and … not giving up.

We make it a priority to understand the needs of the business owner and to build on the existing environmental strengths of the farm.

There are circumstances when conversion to organic production makes sound economic sense but the route to take is not always obvious.

We can help businesses maximise their income during the conversion process and recommend organisations to affiliate with.
