Farm Animals

Highland Cattle

Our fold of Highland cattle is gradually being expanded.  We started with two cows in 2004 and now have 30 animals on the farm.  Highlands are raised for beef production and we have a regular supply of our own beef in the farm shop.  Highlands are a very hardy breed and allow us to utilise more of the land on the farm, which is unsuitable for fruit or vegetable production.  This allows us to have a much more integrated farming system and also to increase the biodiversity of our meadows.

Laying Hens

Our flock of laying hens are kept using organic methods, and like the cattle allow us to utilise more of the land on the farm.  All the hens are the Tradition Lohmann breed which is a hardy hybrid which lays brown eggs.  The eggs are for sale in the farm shop throughout the year.

Farmyard Animals

We have a growing number of animals on view for our customers to enjoy near the farm shop.  At the moment we have Pygmy goats, Middle White pigs, Norfolk Black turkeys, Indian Runner and White Crested ducks, Guinea pigs and a number of bantam chickens.  We frequently have livestock for sale particularly during the summer months.  Please contact us if you are interested.
