Exmoor Farms – A Year on the Moor
This year, Exmoor celebrates the 70th anniversary of its designation as a National Park - and the 10th anniversary of the Exmoor Hill Farming Network (EHFN).
To mark these milestones, the Exmoor Society, together with the EHFN, have commissioned Exmoor Farms : A Year on the Moor, a photographic book and exhibition that will explore what it means to farm this beautiful corner of the UK’s uplands in the 21st century.
The project spans a farming year and includes profiles of farms, together with portraits of the people who live and work on them, and accounts of the activities, markets and shows that fill the year, highlighting the successes and challenges experienced.
The book can be purchased via the Exmoor Hill Farming Network here.
The photography exhibition will be travelling across Exmoor throughout 2024 and 2025 and can be viewed at the following locations:
White Rocks, Simonsbath: 17th October – 3rd November 2024
