Who we are
About the farm
We, the Richards family, have farmed Chilbridge Farm on the Kingston Lacy Estate for five generations (we celebrated 150 years in 2020), as National Trust tenants since 1982. Today we mainly grow arable crops (oilseed rape, malting barley, feed wheat and linseed), and our own suckler beef herd supplies beef to the Pamphill Dairy butchery, less than 1.5 miles away. In the early 1980s we converted the former milking parlour at Pamphill, near Wimborne, into a farm shop; today our farm shop, a butchery selling our own and local meat, homemade ice cream and the Parlour Café, which cooks with meat from our butchery, welcome visitors seven days a week.

Feed offer — data check
- The farm has not given a breakdown of its land by use, so whether it produces the advertised feed on its own land cannot be checked from the data provided.
This check is based on the data given by the farm (land by use — owned and rented together —, annual production and advertised quantity) and on indicative maximum yields.

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.
