We are an agroforestry project based at a 10-acre smallholding nestled below the Preseli hills in North Pembrokeshire. Currently we sell lamb and sheepskins, supply Chaos Fungorum mycorrhizal inoculant, offer consultancy and are setting up a plant nursery.
Formerly horse pasture, the site is now several years into being developed as an agroforestry system. We are experimenting with various approaches - such as strategies for tree establishment; trying different layouts and densities of tree cover within the landscape; and trialling some novel tree crops.  The main components so far are an apple orchard; a walnut orchard; wildflower meadows; several new coppice stands for various outputs; a diverse native broadleaf wood and a mixed evergreen timber stand / shelterbelt.  
Almost all of the land continues to be grazed rotationally by our Badgerface Torwen sheep, who show a marked preference for the fields with access to trees. There have been a few challenges with the protection of young trees from browse damage, but nothing insurmountable. The benefits of diverse silvopasture have far outweighed the drawbacks for us, even after only a few years.
Enhancing biodiversity is core to the decisions made on the farm. Tom has a keen eye for spotting opportunities for planting ecologically important species in otherwise unutilised niches and Jacqui is responsible for moving the flock at the right moment to add or alleviate grazing pressure. By managing the land in this way we have been observing a steady increase in all aspects of biodiversity, perhaps most notably in insect biomass.  

Currently, Tom and Jacqui are busy establishing a nursery that will be largely self-sufficient in propagation material sourced on-site from the parent stock we have been planting over the last several years. 
An agroforestry model makes for an ideal marriage of our interests and skills. Jacqui drives the business administration in between her shepherdess duties. Tom has spent his life honing his craft as a plantsman, working most recently as an agroforestry consultant and mentor.
Chaos Fungorum adds another branch to our business, stemming from a collaboration with mycologist and close friend Jake Whitson. We prepare and sell this mycorrhizal inoculant product which is designed to be used with bare root and potted trees when planting.
