About Us
Thornwood Caravan Storage was established in 2005 following the farm's involvement in the Foot and Mouth outbreak, leading to agricultural diversification. The facility stores approximately 50 units, all under cover. The site has always been a full CaSSOA member and recently achieved Gold Award status. The farm continues agricultural operations alongside storage, rearing pullets under the Freedom Food RSPCA scheme, growing cricket bat willows, and producing grass for cattle and sheep.
