About Willow Tree Farm

Willow Tree Farm is 162 ha in Northallerton, farmed by Howard and Tom Pattison.

It is home to 280, fully housed cows, on an all-year-round calving system. The milking cow accommodation is provided in modern portal frame sheds, which are fitted with 324 deep sand cubicles and integral feeding passages. Passages are tractor scraped, with slurry deposited in an adjacent, concrete block-built slurry store.

Through joining the Strategic Dairy Farm programme, Howard and Tom are looking to continue their journey towards net zero, sharing key learnings and previous successes with others through on-farm and digital meetings.
