Our family has farmed here for over 70 years so we feel we pretty-well know every blade of grass! We have always felt very lucky to live in such a beautiful place and we want to share it with visitors of all ages.

In 2005 we joined Defra's environmental stewardship scheme and have made our farm an accessible and enjoyable place to visit. We have renovated stone buildings that now house our own ice cream parlour, a cafe and small shop. A new certified campsite compliments this.

We have sown a wildflower meadow, layed down paths through a native-species garden extending into ancient semi-natural woodland, restored our orchard and hedges, and have made many other changes that enhance the conservation and bio-diversity of this area.

Our project is supported by grant-aid from Defra's Rural Enterprise Scheme.

We hope you will come and visit us.
