Welcome to our Shop

All of our products are either sourced directly from our own farm or sourced locally from other farms and businesses local to us. This ensures that we know our suppliers and their products and can be sure of their quality.

Sheepskins

Our sheepskins are processed for us by Devonia Products in Buckfastleigh, Devon. We have no tannery in Dorset and so we use Devonia who are part of the Axminster group of companies.

Wool

Our wool is hand spun from our own fleeces. If you are interested in spinning for us please contact us.

Meat

Our meat is sourced from our rare breed animals. The meat is hung according to type and is butchered at the abattoir. If you require a specific cut then please advise us in advance and we will endeavour to meet your requirements.
Each animal on the farm has a unique number and this provides traceability from its birth throughout its life. Each carcass is identified and so we are able to trace the identity of each joint that we produce back to the individual animal.

Cheese

Our cheese is produced by Ford Farm, Ashley Chase Estate, here in the Bride Valley. Their traditionally made cheese has been awarded the world renowned Protected Designation of Origin status and many other awards. In addition to their Farmhouse Cheddar, they produce a range of speciality cheeses.

Smoked Fish

Our fish is produced by Bridfish Smokery, who are located in Bridport, here in Dorset. We are sure that you will be delighted with the products that we have chosen to offer here. Bridfish also smoke our bacon for us.

Chocolates

Our chocolates are handmade by House of Dorchester.  If you like chocolate, what more can I say?

Jams, Preserves, and Chutneys

Our jams, preserves, and chutneys are made by Forest Products. Forest Products are based in Bridport and have produced the finest quality hand made jams, speciality preserves, and chutneys for many years. We have chosen a range of their products to offer to you that we believe will please and complement our other products.

Caring for and preserving our products

Our perishable goods should be refrigerated or frozen immediately on arrival. Once opened remove the product from the vacuum pack and either allow to breathe for 30 minutes in the case of chilled products or to thaw slowly in the case of frozen products. Should the chilled product require to be returned to the refrigerator, keep it well wrapped in cling film and consume within four days. Our frozen goods may be stored in a freezer for up to 13 weeks in a 3 star freezer.

Our sheepskins have care instructions on the label on the reverse of the skin.

Wool and fleeces should not be kept in sealed polythene or other non-breathable containers for other than short periods. Wool is a natural product and needs to breathe or moisture will form on the inside of the wrapping.  Wool should not be stored in bright sunshine or the natural colour may change, due to bleaching.

Fleeces contain a large amount of lanolin and are therefore quite greasy to handle. Please ensure that you care for your skin after any prolonged handing of the fleeces, as the lanolin will transfer to your hands. Ensure that any surface that fleeces come into contact with will not be damaged by the grease.
