Rhodri farms at Moelgolomen in the heart of the Cambrian mountains with his parents, wife and three children. They farm hardy Welsh mountain sheep and Welsh black cattle. Moelgolomen has been organic since 1999 and has always been involved in agri-environmental schemes. Over recent times Rhodri and family have planted upwards of 80 thousand trees throughout the farm whilst also allowing existing hedges to grow tall and bushy to provide shelter for nature and stock alike. Soil health is their new focus with rotational grazing and a reduction in ploughing allowing greater root depth and better soil structure whilst the extra hedgerows also assist in slowing soil runoff and in flood mitigation.

Lamb meat boxes have been sold in recent times through their website, whilst visitors have been welcomed to the farm to stay in the treehouse holiday lets. Farming and food production are their ultimate goals, and Rhodri doesn’t see why this has to be to the detriment of nature with recent changes put in place to ultimately maintain, or perhaps even increase, production levels whilst also ensuring space is made for wildlife to thrive.
