English farm in Lake District keeps old ways alive
Down a narrow track in Cumbria the Bindloss family works 6000 acres near Shap Abbey. Edward and Adelle Bindloss maintain 2300 purebred Swaledale ewes and 106 cows with 100 yearlings, while kids help with dogs and Fell Pony horses. Land rental from Lord Lonsdale and watershed protection by the Northwest Water Authority sustain a traditional, weathered but resilient hill farm in the shadow of a 700-year-old abbey.
