Quite Revolutionary

They say the definition of a farmer is "a man outstanding in his field".

Peak District Farm Holiday members are all outstanding in their field and are keen to embrace modern technologies, be it utilising renewable energy, using electronic tags on cows to monitor animal health and feed rations, or submitting animal passport information on line.

Rural internet connection can often be a trial with slow download speeds, but farmers are computer savvy and whilst not pioneers, we are definitely using modern technologies to our advantage.

Our latest marketing initiative for the Peak District Farm Holiday group has been the creation of a QR code for our magazine advertising, which when zapped with a smart phone will take users direct to a short video. The video (below) is designed to give a taster of the outstanding quality holiday accommodation we offer on working farms and show the fabulous Peak District landscape in which we are fortunate enough to work.

We hope you enjoy a moment of escape to the Peak District and getting up close with the animals.

Now is a good time to think ahead and book your summer holiday for 2012.

We look forward to welcoming you to our farms so you can share our passion for the countryside.
