Who we are
About the farm
We are a family farm in Ashley in Leicestershire's Welland Valley, with about 150 acres (c. 61 ha) of permanent grassland carrying 280 breeding ewes and, since 2017, a pedigree Aberdeen Angus herd (now 45 cows with their calves); our eggs come from our own flock of 200 free-range hens. We began diversifying in 1998 by growing herb plants, and we still sell home-grown herbs, bedding and vegetable plants, while our two gardens produce cut flowers, vegetables and fruit. Our own lamb and beef are sold exclusively through our farm shop, where our butcher and kitchen make sausages, meat pies, ham, bacon and pastrami on site and we bake cakes daily.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
