A traditional Lakeland hill farm where our flock of native Herdwick sheep grazes on the slopes of Carrock Fell. We follow an extensive farming system focused on wildlife, nature, and long-term environmental improvement. As a proud carbon net-zero enterprise, we're committed to creating stronger synergy between sustainable food production and the natural landscape.
Stone Ends is a family-run hill farm, currently cared for by three generations, with a deep connection to the Lakeland landscape. Our native Herdwick sheep have been grazing these uplands for generations. As custodians of this land, we’re committed not only to producing quality food but also to preserving the wildlife, habitats, and heritage that make this place special.
At Stone Ends, farming and conservation go hand in hand. Our land management approach is shaped by a deep respect for the natural environment and a belief that good farming should improve the landscape, not just use it.
We’re actively involved in projects that protect and restore our local ecosystem, including:
These efforts are supported through partnerships with organisations including AHDB (Environmental Baselining), Cumbria Farmers Network, Cumbria Wildlife Trust, Defra, Eden Rivers Trust, FIPL (LDNPA), Friends of the Lake District (FOLD), Greater Manchester & Liverpool Wildlife Trust, LEAF (Journey to Net Zero), Natural England, RPA, and the Woodland Trust.
