Our
Farm
All of
our animals are raised outside and fed a natural
diet
and allowed to roam
free on the Dorset chalk hills on the
North side of the beautiful Bride Valley. Our
prize winning animals are matured slowly and
naturally, to ensure flavour, succulence and
quality.
Our
Sheep
We have
12 different breeds of sheep including North Ronaldsay sheep which are
more rare
than the Giant Panda. We operate a staggered lambing
programme so that there are lambs throughout the
spring and summer into the Autumn. This ensures that
we can give close attention to each and every one. Many of
the sheep will feed from your hand and some will
come for a walk, just like a dog.
Our
Pigs
We
have
Berkshire
pigs, British Lop and Oxford Sandy and Black pigs,
also known as Plum Pudding pigs, because of their
markings. We now have a British Lop and hope to have
some Gloucester Old Spots very soon. All have individual characters and just
love visitors, especially if you feed them fruit or
vegetables.
Our
Products
We offer a range of products from hand-spun wool,
and sheepskins to
fresh meat as well as other locally sourced
products, such as cheese.
Our animals are allowed to roam free and cared for
throughout their
lives to ensure uncompromised quality, flavour and
succulence.
