Jersey Island Genetics

the royal jersey agricultural and horticultural society (rja&hs) is a private organisation founded in 1833 and incorporated by an act of the states of jersey in 1884. the oldest society in the island, it is a not-for-profit organisation governed by a council of elected members with general committees that manage the affairs of the two departments; agriculture and horticulture. the object for which the society was established was to encourage the development of agriculture and horticulture on the island. in the present day, the society’s remit is wide ranging, but is still founded on promoting the island’s rural culture and encouraging the production of local produce and protection of the farmed countryside. we encourage practice of good agriculture and horticulture in jersey through shows, exhibitions, and competitions, and promote and encourage the breeding of superior cattle of the jersey breed. this includes providing a range of technical services to the local dairy industry, and management of the jersey herdbook. we encourage new membership applications – with membership providing a range of benefits. the society headquarters is also one of the island’s premier events venues, hosting a range of both small and large private, corporate and public events throughout the year. the society's role has also expanded in recent years to include a number of exciting new initiatives, including: the cultivate programme: the cultivate programme, generously supported by the howard davis farm trust, aims to promote rural culture to the island’s citizens on behalf of the society and the wider agricultural and horticultural communities. dairy for development: the society oversees a number of 'dairy for development' projects, funded by jersey overseas aid, which aim to strengthen developing dairy industries and improve the lives of smallholder farmers through increased access to jersey genetics, training, and market linkages.
