Who we are
About the farm
We, the Oakes family, have farmed at Oakes Farm near Balsall Common (formerly Balsall Street East Farm) since 1935; Gary Oakes started free-range egg production in 1993 and from 2000 sold the eggs from a little shed with an honesty box. In 2013 we opened our 525 m² farm shop, built on the site of one of the poultry sheds, with our own butchery, bakery and café. The lambs and cattle grazing our land are reared by our neighbouring farmer Steve Truelove of Temple Farm; our butchers make award-winning sausages, bacon and burgers, our bakers make homemade cakes, and produce from local suppliers completes the range.

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.
