One Last Farm

"The last traditional working farm in Bristol is under threat from development."

Yew Tree Farm not only produces locally grown, organic food, but the farm’s rich grasslands and ancient hedgerows provide habitat for wildlife, including bats, dormice and otters. For third-generation farmer Catherine Withers, Yew Tree Farm means everything. It is her home, her livelihood, and where she’s creating a community that values nature. But the farm’s existence is threatened by a proposed cemetery expansion and housing development.
