New Farmer Scheme Where the land gives life to the people and the people give life to the landThe Falkland Estate farm has earmarked land for new farmers to rent. The plots are suitable for horticultural use and will be from 0.5 to 2.5 hectares. The home farm at Falkland is run organically by Falkland Rural Enterprises Limited (FREL). The aim is to contribute to wise food production and to do so in a way that is economically viable. The new farmer plots are a way of supporting new entrants to farming.
