Gwarffynnon Farm is home to 130 Holstein pedigree cattle. Aron returned to Gwarffynnon Farm
5 years ago after studying Agriculture at Aberystwyth University. Aron is now in charge of the
farm’s daily activities including the milking and daily work to plan the cows’ diet. In 2020 the
Ormond herd won the title of master breeder. Being as close as possible to being
self-sufficient is a big emphasis for Gwarffynnon Farm. The farm already produces green
energy with a windmill, solar panels and an air source heat pump system.
Aron and his Dad Dai have seen an economic benefit to this as well as
creating a climate friendly farm without sacrificing the standard of
produce. In 2020 Aron identified the need for high quality local produce
and created a dedicated pasteurisation unit on the farm to process milk
and then sell it locally in the centre of Lampeter and Llwyncelyn through
a self-service machine
