heritage farm
Ancestral working land
A heritage farm is a farm that preserves traditional agricultural practices, heirloom crop varieties, or historic livestock breeds.
These operations prioritize conservation over maximum yield, maintaining farming methods and genetics that might otherwise disappear: The heritage farm raises Gloucestershire Old Spots pigs and heritage turkeys.
Some heritage farms also function as living history museums or educational sites.
