This scheme located in a beautiful valley in the High Peak, an old farmhouse with a backdrop of moorland and reservoir. Three generations of family live in the house and they enjoy having large groups of friends and family around for food. For the client it was important that some of the food could be grown on site. They have chickens and two potbelly pigs - the latter only eat food given to them by the family, thank goodness!
