Walking around the farm that was once his fathers, inspired Ollie, born in Somerset, to look at pursuing his own career, but in hospitality and events. Ollie is the son of the late Trevor Greenslade, who at the peak of his career was a successful vegetable producer within the heart of the South West. 

Using what his father had left him and his own passion for the outdoors and flare for creativity, Ollie decided that he wanted to create his own business. He has very fond memories exploring and learning about farm life with his Father and wished to create a similar environment for others to enjoy too. Whilst living in Devon, this encouraged Ollie’s burning desire to buy a suitable farm. After finding and falling in love with Holwell Farm in August ‘19, he’s not looked back! 

Moving forward, enhancing and preserving the best of the varied wildlife the team have at Holwell Farmhouse, is very much at the forefront of what they’re trying to maintain and grow. Recently obtaining 15 acres of scrubland in 2023, Ollie hopes to introduce wetland creation and river restoration, enabling not just guests, but the public to explore the beauty that is Devon. Holwell is also actively engaged in environmental stewardship programmes to support and enhance the natural features of the farm.

Since the extensive farmhouse renovation between 2019 and 2022 and improving the active farm use, Holwell now welcomes a wide variety of guests both local and international to simply, unpack, uncork and unwind!

Holwell is proud to sponsor the British Dragonfly Society
