Generations of the Dawson family have farmed at Greystone House since 1752. The traditional principles of organic farming have been re-established by the present family, John and Marjorie Dawson. They believe that agriculture should work in harmony with the environment and that the public want to see how their food is produced. After the loss of their livestock in the foot and mouth outbreak of 2001 they entered the Organic Farming Scheme and with the support of the England Rural Development Programme and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund they built a Farm Shop and Tearoom. The farm also entered into the Countryside Stewardship Scheme which has enabled the planting of trees, development of wildlife strips creation, of ponds and footpaths, but most importantly the access to the farm so that the public can see how the food is produced.
