Region: Orkney and Shetland

Size of farm: 900

Type of farm: Sheep, Beef and Suckler Cows

A unique and interesting opportunity is available on a traditional livestock unit in the Shetland Islands. The farm is organic and extends to 900 acres with substantial hill share. The current enterprise has a herd of 45 traditional breed beef cows and a flock of 700 breeding ewes. The owners are keen to progress towards a regenerative farming model. Initially working for a year as farm manager with the current owners this opportunity provides excellent prospects for a longer-term joint business and succession agreement. There will also be an opportunity to examine and develop other land and business diversification options with the current owners. A well-equipped croft house is available for immediate use and other longer term housing options may be available for the successful candidate.
