A diversified family farm business in rural Lancashire is maximising its income potential by utilising environmental payment schemes, installing wind turbines and developing glamping pods alongside mixed beef, sheep and arable farming.
Raymond and Diane Kellet, along with their son Andrew and daughters Alison and Rachel, operate the 220-acre Mill House Farm, just outside Cockerham and close to the Forest of Bowland, as a family business.
