The Countryside Regeneration Trust (CRT) purchased Turnastone Court Farm in January 2003 to ensure that the wildlife-rich area would be protected. The ancient water meadow farm borders the River Dore and is a traditional grassland farm where cattle and sheep are reared on the rich pasture. Most of the land has not been ploughed for over 400 years, ensuring old species of native grasses are retained The CRT has made the difficult decision to sell Turnastone Court Farm as part of an ongoing business strategy review to consolidate its extensive property portfolio, reduce operational costs and reinvest in its core nature friendly farms.
