Just 4 miles north west of Dulverton and 1.5 mile walk to the beauty spot Tarr Steps; our location makes it easy to explore the many attractions of Devon and Somerset.
We are a FABBL registered working farm of some 270 acres with a herd of beef suckler cows and a flock of breeding ewes, including Exmoor Horn Sheep producing Farm Assured British Beef and Lamb selling to local markets and abattoirs. Some of the farmland borders open moorland, making it easy to reach some of Exmoor’s many footpaths.
We farm within the ESA (Environmentally Sensitive Area) guidelines and have a high regard for conservation.
The only crop grown is “grass” which is grazed as well as being conserved into hay and silage for winter feed. Hedges provide security for livestock as well as shelter and habitat for much wildlife. You may enjoy the beautiful countryside with many wildflowers, much bird-life and a variety of wild animals as you take a walk over the fields and beyond. At certain times of the year it may be possible to take you on a short landrover ride and explain first hand what we are doing with the land and livestock in this part of England.
