The Exmoor Hill Farming Network was established in 2014, as a successor to the Exmoor Hill Farming Project (2009-2013), to improve the viability and sustainability of Exmoor farming businesses through knowledge-transfer, peer-group support, training, and co-operation to safeguard upland farming, rural employment and landscape management. Following a review of governance in 2019, the Network Steering Group established the Exmoor Hill Farming Network Community Interest Company (Company No. 12151981) which took over the running of the Network from North Devon + in February 2020.
Our Vision for the Network is to provide the Go-to-Hub for Exmoor’s farming community, providing information, skills, support and inspiration. We will be:
Economically Engaged: assisting prosperous and forward-thinking businesses;
Healthy and Harmonious: facilitating a proper sense of well-being and succession in the Exmoor Farming Community;
Farming Friendly: giving a voice for the Farming Community within landscape and countryside policy-making; and
Nature Nurturing: promoting sustainably managed, attractive and nature-rich farmed landscapes Change.
