| Preserving the Bond tradition in agriculture the company farms 1,000 acres of land in Cornwall. Mindful of the environment, less intensive farming methods are used. Bond Agriculture is mainly involved in growing cereal crops but also retains a wealth of knowledge on farming and agricultural issues. Offering a wealth of agricultural knowledge Several generations of the Bond family have farmed the land in Cornwall – land use has developed and diversified over the years arming them with a strong, varied knowledge bank A pioneer farm in environmentally aware projects Bond recently hosted one of two LIFE (less intensive farming and the environment) experiments. They have also created over 20 acres of aquatic habitat and planted 35 acres of hardwood trees in recent years. The farms still play host to major cereal research in association with The Arable Group and NIAB. The company has been highly commended in national environmental competitions and was one of the initial LEAF demonstration farms.
