The Farm and About us
I started the farm in 1981, always having had a passion for farming. I would try and work on farms during my school holidays to gain that extra bit of of know how.The farm started with a 2.02 acre bare field in Defford. I bought it for just over £4,000 and thought I'd bought all of Pershore. Over time I have built various livestock buildings as my animal numbers increased. I first started using telegraph poles but now I use steel!
I started my enterprise with six orphan female lambs and they did me proud for many years, retaining the female lambs to slowly increase the flock. After I had a large enough flock I started selling them and buying cattle.
Originally the buildings were only designed for sheep but as time moved on I built purpose made cattle sheds. I am now farming about 250 acres, some rented but mostly working with Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and The John Bennett Wetland Trust.
We have always had the interest of farming at heart and then drifted into rare breeds in the early 90s. The majority of our livestock is now Rare Breeds for future generation to have the priviledge to see these beautiful animals
