herdyfund

Herdy has always been committed to giving back a percentage of profits to look after the Lakeland landscape. Each year we donate money to the herdyfund - a fund we set up to provide grants and funding to enterprises and organisations promoting the conservation of the Herdwick sheep and rural lifestyle associated with upland fell farming in Cumbria.

It's a broad brief which enables us to do all kinds of great things from rural community support through to making good use of the wool and caring for the landscape we all know and love.

Our herdycountry range of products has been designed specifically to 'super- charge' the herdyfund. In addition to the donation that the herdy company makes to the fund each year, a fixed extra amount is added from sales of herdycountry goods.

Find out more about some successful applications: for some new technology to be used on upland farms, for some livestock hurdles, and for an event to promote the benefits of local produce to chefs.

If you have a good project which you think is suitable for herdyfund support then we'd love to hear about it. Please contact us by phone or email to let us know about your proposal.
