Who we are
About the farm
We are a traditional working Victorian farm within the grounds of Croxteth Hall and Country Park, formerly part of the late Lord Sefton's estate; the farm has been managed by NSC since 2014. We are one of the biggest rare breed farms in the country, keeping over 20 breeds listed as Priority or At Risk on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST) watchlist; our Irish Moiled herd, founded in 1984, was the first on mainland Britain, and offspring from our breeding programmes go to other farms. We welcome visitors every day from 10am to 5pm, with small animal handling, pony grooming, school visits and birthday parties. In our café and farm shop (Larkin's Café and Farm Shop) we sell locally raised rare breed pork and beef, free range eggs and duck eggs.

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.
