CSS and ELS have been incorporated into the farming system, the options which have been implemented complement the farm, but would remain after funding had ceased, to achieve agricultural objective and bio-diversity. All areas of the farm are managed for conservation and farming, where species have been identified provision for their continued presence has been made. The farming system is used to promote and market the produce of the farm, also as an educational resource for farm walks promoting the objectives of sustainable farming and promoting farming to the consumer."
