The original 150 acre Holt Farm next to Blagdon Lake was purchased in 1961, and neighbouring farmland has been bought as it became available over the following years. Today, the farms consist of 1200 acres of dairy and arable land, split between the Yeo Valley, next to Blagdon Lake, and a plateau on the top of the Mendip Hills that overlook it.

Individual farms retain their original names – Holt, Lag, Merecombe, Beech, Priddy Hill and Yoxter – in a balance of conventional and organic farming. Together they are known as Holt Farms Ltd.
