Bawdon Lodge Farm

Not just a field on a farm- how we diversified by maximising our farm and land

Lynn Bailey along with her husband Richard have diversified Bawdon Lodge Farm, Leicestershire by transforming farm
buildings into a business community, developing a solar energy source, being part of the National Forest Tender Scheme and
by creating an award winning Wedding & Events business with an onsite gin distillery. All whilst still farming.
A seminar for those looking to diversity their farm and hear an honest account from hands-on farmers.
