Conservation Grade is not just one farmer but a collaboration of farmers across the UK who are passionate about working alongside nature. It is these farmers, manufacturers and of course your good selves that make the Honeyfield s story possible. The Honeyfield s story is about valuing nature and reversing the damage done to some of our much loved wildlife, achieved through a network of farms, all practising nature friendly farming to produce food for brands people choose to buy. Ordinary people purchasing everyday items can guarantee the reverse in the loss of some of our much loved wildlife. Farmers are paid a premium for the crop grown on a Conservation Grade Farm with at least 10% of the farm being managed actively for conservation. The farmers are trained, supported and their farm ecology is audited with a guarantee to not just slow, but to reverse biodiversity loss. Conservation Grade farms are putting the habitats back, farmers growing two crops, one for food and one for nature. Together with your help we can deliver 1,000,000 acres of nature friendly farming. If all the farms joined together we could create the biggest nature reserve in Europe, managed by those who love the land. Look out for the Conservation Grade logo on packs. When you see it, you are guaranteed that there are ingredients inside which have been grown on a Conservation Grade farm.

the big idea... The catastrophic loss of habitat in our countryside has forced birds to retreat looking for food and cover leaving them often ending up in people s gardens. Millions of good people through wildlife friendly gardening and supplementary feeding have helped some of our best loved species. Unfortunately gardens can only be part of the solution, with much of our most loved wildlife still in decline. The barn owl is one of those in danger, along with others such as the hedgehog which is under serious threat. During the 1950 s the UK had 36 million hedgehogs, there are now thought to be less than 1 million. When growing food we need to save nature. A network of farms, all practising nature friendly farming, producing food for brands that people choose to buy. Ordinary people purchasing everyday items can mend our broken ecosystems and reverse the loss of nature. Conservation Grade farms are putting the habitats back, farmers growing two crops, one of food and one of nature. Their aim, with help, is to deliver 1,000,000 acres of nature friendly farming. If all the farms were joined together then we can create the biggest nature reserve in Europe, managed by those who love the land. Conservation farms GUARANTEE to reverse the declines, so nature can do her thing for generations to come. Comparison between the Environmental Stewardship and Conservation Grade Farms Environmental Stewardship Conservation Grade Farms 11 What they do A government system where a subsidy is awarded to the farmer, shifting the focus away from intensive agriculture.
