Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Packington near Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in the heart of the National Forest; Hill Farm has been in the Sumnall family for over 75 years and two generations, and today it is run by Andrew and his wife Janice. We have diversified the former dairy farm: we planted 100 acres (approx. 40 ha) of woodland and, alongside our arable fields, have kept Canadian bison and red deer since 2006, alpacas since 2008, Shire horses since 2011 and rare-breed pigs since 2012. In our farm shop we sell our own farm-reared Aberdeen Angus beef, bison, lamb, Mangalitza pork and venison, homemade pies and cakes; we also run a coffee shop, a campsite and two log cabins, and host open days and guided woodland walks.

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.
