Save Westridge Farm (SWF) is a Community Action group located on the Isle of Wight, southern England. It was formed 2016 by island residents to stop so called ‘developers’ from destroying the ancient tenanted farmland known as Westridge Farm together with the precious ancient habitat and wildlife it maintains and supports.

Farming has been recorded at least as far back as the 13th century and the Doomsday Book.

There was once hundreds of farms on the island. Because of terrain this was mainly dairy, sheep and orchard in the eastern isle and arable elsewhere.

In one 20 year period the island lost over 80% of its dairy farms, with less than 10 now remaining. All too often the land has been lost forever as agricultural or wildlife resource.

In living memory there were once 11 farms within a mile of Westridge Farm, now there is just Westridge remaining.

Westridge farmland has been put to many agricultural uses over the generations and centuries including:

Orchards, Provision of Timber, Sheep, Pigs and presently dairy.

The ancient hedgerows, pastures and environment is home to and provides for many endangered species, some of which are internationally red listed.
