Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Higher Bockhampton in the Dorset countryside, 2 miles from Dorchester, breeding Boer goats and Black Dorper sheep, mainly as stud stock for other breeders and producers, and keeping free-range chickens and ducks. From our own animals we sell goat meat and hogget (young mutton) – cuts, mince, sausages, burgers, goat biltong and whole or half carcasses – as well as chicken and duck eggs, to pre-order by phone; our customers include local butchers and restaurants. On the farm we also run a solar-powered campsite with 25 grass pitches and furnished bell tents.

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.
