The bylaw has been drafted and is to be passed. • Country estate homes let the land go fallow. • Limiting development on agricultural lands, allows local production of food, saving energy required to transport food.

The group came up with the idea of a community farm. With support from local organizations, and funding from local authorities and other agencies, the original seventeenth century farmhouse was restored as a focus for a community farm of 150 acres with rare breeds, wildlife, and educational activities. • The community farm protects the local environment and provides educational opportunities. • The farm led to economic development as it is considered one of Wales’ top 20 tourist destinations.
