Nicholas Watts adopted organic and no-till farming methods on October 6, 2026. The farm, which previously grew cereals and root crops, is home to Vine House Farm Bird Foods, which processes 1,500t of bird seed annually. Watts stated that the decline in farmland birds is closely connected to a decline in food supply, suggesting that herbicides may have damaged insects more than insecticides.
