Who we are
About the farm
We are a family farm in Dover, next to Dover Castle, on the chalk grassland of the North Downs: Simon and Lizzie have farmed this land since 1988 and bought it in 2008; we own 200 acres (about 81 ha) of grassland and rent a further 300 acres (about 121 ha). Our main business is supplying the equestrian market with hay, straw and haylage in small conventional, round and big square bales, and our flock of 400 Suffolk-cross ewes produces fat lambs throughout the year. Hay can be collected from the farm on Saturdays from 9 am to 12 noon, and we deliver from 21 bales; we hold lambing open days during the Easter holidays and offer overnight motorhome parking from April to September.

Write a review
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.
