Raised Slowly, As They Should Be
This is where much of our story begins. Out in the fields, among the animals, where time, care and the land, shape everything that follows. Each season brings it’s own rhythm, where we work within it, not against it.
Where It All Began
It all started with the Boer Goats. They were our first animals, small in number but large in character and the spark that shaped the farm we know today. Over time, as the herd grew and diversified, so did the farm itself. With our connection to The Sun Inn, what we raise here has evolved from simple beginnings to something richer, a farm, a pub and a story told in fields, plates and shared moments.
A Growing Herd
Our Traditional Hereford Cattle roam the pastures with measured patience, grazing slowly across the fields. It is a quieter way of doing things, but one that gives depth, character and in time, flavour.
Alongside them, Oxford Sandy & Black pigs root through the fields. Curious by nature, they play their part in the landscape, adding life, movement and their own unmistakable character to the farm.
For much of the year, our animals are out in the fields, grazing, roaming and moving with the land. When the weather turns, or when they need a little more, they are brought in and cared for a little more closely.
It’s a balanced approach, one that puts welfare first, works with the realities of the seasons and the rhythm of our land.
Together, The Herd tells a story of evolution, of a farm that began with goats, grew with intention and now forms the foundation, flavour’s and experiences shared with the local community. Every animal has it’s place, every season it’s rhythm, and every plate it’s story. One of care, patience and connection, from farm to table.
