The Story So Far...

Chris and Fiona moved into Nethergill Farm in November 2005. Keen naturalists and trained agriculturalists they previously farmed free-range outdoor pigs. In 1990 they sold the farming enterprise and set up an agricultural marketing and graphic design business. They are now continuing to run their existing business as well as developing Nethergill Farm as a unique haven for people to come and enjoy and learn about the natural environment.
