Who we are
About the farm
We farm 625 acres (approx. 253 ha) on the South Downs at West Firle in East Sussex, a working family farm our family has run since 1960, and home to one of the first farm shops in the country. In our shop we sell our own produce – meat reared on the farm at the butcher's counter, herbs and chillies grown here, homemade jams and chutney, and cakes, pies and ready meals baked and cooked daily in our farm kitchen – alongside goods from small Sussex and British producers, and our cider barn stocks over 300 ciders and perries. On our Open Farm visitors can meet our Highland cows, alpacas, pigs, goats, sheep and small animals; we also have a tearoom, a gardeners' courtyard, a gift shop and an animal feed store, and we welcome school groups.

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.
