The farm has been run by the Barber family for over 70 years and daily routines are undertaken by both John and George Barber who are ably assisted by Alastair, who has worked for the farming partnership for 40 years.

We have a herd of 140 suckler cows and 3 handsome Limousin bulls.
Calving starts at the end of February and continues until April. The animals are grazing out in the fields for most of the year and are checked daily.

If you would like to tour the farm while on holiday then you can book a farm safari. We lamb our flock of 300 sheep towards the end of March and welcome visitors to the lambing shed.

Growing wheat and oats are an important part of our farm rotation. The wheat is sold for making bread, biscuits, whisky and animal feed. The oats are sold for porridge making, muesli, flapjacks and oatcakes as well as animal feed.
We have two friendly collies working on the farm. You are welcome to bring your well-behaved dogs on holiday with you, but please ensure they are kept on a lead around livestock at all times, no matter how well behaved!

Conservation

As farmers we care about the environment and our efforts have been rewarded by our acceptance onto the higher level stewardship scheme which ensures that we manage our hedgerows to encourage wildlife and that we develop wildlife friendly field margins
