Supporting the future of farming on Dartmoor
A bit about us
The Dartmoor Hill Farm Project was set up in 2003 to help ensure a viable future for Dartmoor farmers. We are actively involved in promoting and supporting the role agriculture plays on Dartmoor from food production to the delivery of public goods. As well as acting as advocates for our community we run a range of programmes and activities aimed at supporting family farms and investing in resilient and forward-facing businesses.
We are a small team of staff who are based in Princetown and can assist you with advice, guidance and one to one support where needed. You can keep in touch by receiving our e-newsletter, social media feed or our (less regular) hard copy newsletters. Please sign up to join our contacts database or email us for more information.
Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA) officially host the Hill Farm Project, based at the ‘High Moor’ Princetown office. The DHFP Team work alongside all departments to ensure that the relevance of projects and support for farming is communicated and integrated into wider activity, with greater relevance to the Farming in Protected Landscapes, Natural Flood Management or Peatland restoration staff. As part of the Conservation & Communities Directorate, the work of the Hill Farm Project also aims to align with and promote the objectives of the Partnership Plan, predominantly Farming & Forestry Your Dartmoor - Better for Farming and Forestry
