News from the Farm
On the farm we grow Winter Wheat, Spring Barley and Oil Seed Rape. The landscape is always changing as the crops grow, develop and then are harvested. There are grass strips around all the fields and woodland in the middle. This makes a lovely walk, so make sure you bring some suitable shoes, or better still, boots. This grass strip is habitat to many birds, wildlife and plants.
We offer DIY Livery for horses, where horse owners from the locality stable and graze their horse with us. They enjoy the facilities we have and we enjoy being surrounded by a variety of lovely horses and ponies.
