The winner of the 2024 RDS Sustainable Farming Award is Broughgammon Farm, Ballycastle, Co. Antrim.
Broughgammon Farm is a small mixed farm run by Charlie Cole and his wife Becky who have championed slow food and environmental practices since the farms set up back in 2011.
Broughgammon Farm is a forward thinking farm that specialises in rearing ethical, sustainable meat - using the bi-products of the dairy industry male calves and male billys - and acts as a showcase farm for Nature Friendly Farming throughout the UK.
Charlie and his family have pioneered many new environmental practices such as solar powered electric fencing, a water source pump for accessing water for the animals, mob grazing, agroforestry, regenerative farming, maintaining species rich grasslands as well as using the farm as a showcase for the Nature Friendly Farming Network whom Charlie is part of the original steering group for.
Situated amidst the beautiful north coast countryside in County Antrim, they offer bespoke Farm to Fork supper clubs, guided Economusee tours with tasters, workshops and foraging walks. They also have a farm cafe and shop that is open from 11-4 every Friday-Sunday.
