Who we are

About the farm

We are a family-run hill farm in Buttermere in the Lake District, farming about 49 ha of pasture, rough grazing and woodland as National Trust tenants, with common grazing rights on the fell. We keep native and rare breeds: Herdwick and other hill sheep, goats, pigs, Fell ponies, poultry and, since 2025, honey bees. Our self-service Farm Hut at the farm entrance sells eggs, homemade cakes, surplus vegetables and fruit and our own goat milk soap, while our online shop offers soap, wool products and meat boxes. We welcome visitors to sheepdog demonstrations, shepherd experiences, goat picnics, school visits and an open day, and offer accommodation in our holiday apartment and camping barn.
