Who we are
About the farm
We, the Simkin family, have farmed in Essington, near Wolverhampton, since 1892 and have sold produce from our land ever since. We keep free-range pigs and a closed suckler herd of pedigree Herefords without routine antibiotics, and we grow seasonal vegetables, strawberries and pumpkins, partly as pick-your-own. Our farm shop offers bread and cakes baked on site, our own butchery (named 'Best Large Butchery' in the Midlands at the 2025 National Butcher Awards), deli products and plants that are over 90% home-grown, and since 1990 we have also run a restaurant. We hold seasonal family events, including pumpkin picking in October.

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.
