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.
