A Rare Breed
Longley Farm is in many ways a rare breed (ask anyone who works here and they will tell you we have our quirks!). We like to keep things as natural as possible, even if that means going the long way round to make a nice product, so it’s hardly surprising we have a soft spot for other rare and unusual creatures.
One Community Grants 2015
On Wednesday 2nd December, local groups once again got together at Brambles in Holmfirth, to receive grants from the Longley Farm One Community Fund.
A New Wind Turbine
The new wind turbine is now up and running just in time for the September FiT deadline of 23rd September 2015.
A Dairy for Dairy Farmers
At Longley Farm, we believe that small farming businesses are important, and we need to work with them to keep our farming heritage alive and vibrant.
The Great Yorkshire Show 2015
Longley Farm products have gone down well with the judges at the Great Yorkshire Show for many years now, and this year was no different, as we walked away with a string of fantastic results at this year's Cheese and Dairy Show.
Going... going... gone!
After being a feature on the local landscape since 1986, our faithful old wind turbine has finally been dismantled and removed to make way for the new one due to be installed in the summer.
Spring has Sprung...
...and that means our lovely cows are back enjoying the sunshine and the lush green grass on the Holmfirth hills around the dairy.
New Wind Turbine
Longley Farm has long been at the forefront of green energy since commissioning England's first commercial wind turbine back in 1986. After years of steady running, the original turbine is obsolete and ready to be decommissioned, but instead of just replacing it with a similar model we have decided to partner up with Holmfirth Transition Town in the hopes of making even more impact in improving the local environment.
Great Yorkshire Show 2014
