Rectory Farm
Richard and Jill Savage have run the award-winning Rectory Farm Tearooms for many years and have been recognised as one of the best tearooms in the UK.
This is in addition to running a 325 acre mixed farm, which is currently being converted to organic, and running a self-catering holiday business!
Located 7 miles North of Bude at Morwenstow, Rectory Farm is off the beaten track and their new website has helped boost business.
“Broadband has been excellent for us” says Richard. “We are supported by the Country Stewardship scheme and we want to raise awareness of the great local environment on the North Cornwall Coast as well as convey the natural, coastal image to help build our own business. We are now starting to sell our own meat through the website.”
Richard continues “Thanks to actnow, we now have a state of the art computer system. We also use farming specific software – Farmit 3000 and Shearwell.
“These are great and have made it much easier to keep on top of all the farm administration. In addition, Farmit in particular have been very responsive and seem to really listen, so where I have encountered any problems, they have changed the software for me. You can’t ask for more than that!”
“We also use the Internet for research all the time now. Broadband is so fast that it is our first port of call when we need to check anything. It must save us hours compared with any other method.
"Broadband has made a massive difference to the way we run Rectory Farm. It is helping us reach out to new customers as well as helping us streamline and simplify our internal systems and administration. So now we have more time to focus on building a really successful business.”
