About the Farm

Background

The farm is a small, family-operated venture known for raising a variety of animals including sheep, Highland cattle, a Jersey milk cow, pigs, and broiler chickens. Additionally, it serves as a crucial connection and distribution network for local farmers in the surrounding hills who adhere to similar farming principles.

Practices

The farm emphasizes minimal intervention, using antibiotics only when absolutely necessary, and feeding animals a natural, varied diet. They prioritize hardy breeds that thrive in the local environment and support small holdings managed by attentive farmers. The overarching philosophy is to encourage sustainable land use and self-sufficiency in food production.

The Rest

The farm aims to provide food to people who appreciate and are interested in eating in a way that benefits rather than harms the environment. They distribute range-fed beef, lamb, and veal, supporting a community of like-minded local farmers.
