We are a family run farm, with many breeds of livestock, some of them
being unusual or rare breeds.
We have a small herd of Dexter cows, which provide us with
meat and milk. These are friendly, small black cows, with their calves.
We usually calve in the Spring.
At the moment we have 30 Breeding ewes, a ram and some of last years lambs.
We have polled Dorset sheep, a white sheep without horns. These lamb
throughout the Winter and early Spring.
Throughout the year we raise pigs to supply the farm with bacon and sausages,
for the Bed and Breakfast and campers. We have kept various breeds, and
there should hopefully always be some to see here.
We currently have about 300 chicken and 12 ducks, which all provide
us with eggs, which are again available from the farmhouse. There are
various breeds including Khaki Campbell and Aylesbury Ducks, Warrens, Rhode Island Red, Light Sussex,
and Welbar hens.
The poultry have livestock guardians living with them in the form of our
5 Alpacas. These originated from South America, and have incredibly soft
fleece. They are very good at chasing away the fox when he comes for a visit,
and are in addition to the electric poultry net.
We try and keep the farm as child friendly as we can, as we have children
too, but we do ask that visiting children are supervised and dogs are kept
on leads.
