Book Your Places for the Open Day on the 8th June now!
The spaces for our Open Day on the 27th filled up so fast, we have decided to have another on the 8th of June, for anyone who couldn't make it!
Now that we've had enough trail runs to get an idea of numbers and the staff and work required, on the 8th we will be charging a £5.50 entrance fee per person (under 5s go free). We have set up a Paypal account, so you can pay online to book your place. Hopefully this will give us a clearer idea of numbers as well! Click on the 'Buy Now' button below, and follow the instructions on the screen.
Chops and Steaks, 20% off!
As you can see on our produce page, we are no longer offering the lamb boxes. They have become so unwieldy with people ordering different specific cuts, and swapping out items, that there didn't seem much point in having a set box that wasn't actually set!
Instead we will be focusing on offering seasonal promotions for certain items.
For example, our Summer BBQ promotion: 20% off on all chops and steaks! Get your orders in fast, offer ends on the 17th!
This is just a test run, don't worry, there will be more offers in the future!
Terrific open day today, book for the 27th!
A big thank you to everyone who came to the open day today! It was a terrific day with amazing weather. We forgot to take any pictures today so if anyone managed to get a few snaps I'd love it if you could send them to me and I'll post it up here :D
We have spaces for the next open day on the 27th of May so anyone who missed out on this one or just wants to come again please send us an email and book yourselves and family in!
Spring is truly remarkable here on the farm
Spring has finllay rolled around and with it we've had an influx of new litttle critters! The pygmy goat gave birth to a teensie football sized baby goat (SO CUTE!) the sheep have all lambed, chicks are running all over the place and our rabbit just gave birth this morning to another litter! only 10 weeks after her first...poor woman.
This is just a couple of pictures of them from our facebook page
50% self sufficent on all our energy needs!
We installed our solar tiles on the cob boiler room earlier this year, but have now hooked them up to the grid and are now running half our electricity needs off them. Definately when the sun shines like today :D

Sheepish Weekend!

Lamb Box Options
Different parts of the lamb are used for different cuts: Some are lean, some are fatty, some are easy to take off the bone some are almost impossible, some are good for dicing and some are good for joints. A whole lamb box (or even a half or a quarter) will give you a whole range of cuts that can be cooked in many different recipes. Take a look at the Simply Beef and Lamb website to get an idea of some of the cuts available.
We will always try to match your order exactly, so when you order a lamb box, in the comments, please specify what you would like done to each part of the lamb.
