Whins Farm
Addington Fund became aware of the existence of Whins Farm when they were left a gift of money in the Will of the late Mary Blades. Mary stated in her Will that she wished her farm to be sold to a “keen and enthusiastic young farmer” and Addington stepped in when no suitable buyer could be found.
Whins Farm is currently requiring complete refurbishment and is being renovated by the charity to create a farm which will be let to a new entrant as a stepping stone into the industry.
Watch the film below to hear the story of Whins and our plans for its future.
The Future of Whins Farm
Artist’s impression of the completed farmhouse
The farmhouse, barns, and yard are currently in disrepair and require significant investment.
We are working closely with a local architect and builder to carefully restore the buildings, ensuring they are ready for the next generation of farmers.
Once the renovations are complete, we will be offering the tenancy as an exciting first step into farming for a new entrant. Full details of the tenancy will be available in 2026.
