Who we are
About the farm
On the outskirts of Lichfield we run Woodhouse, a small farm created in 1808 from parts of the former Capability Brown-designed Fisherwick Estate, as a Community Interest Company (CIC). Since 2010 we have grown fruit and vegetables in the 3.5-acre walled garden, since 2011 we have offered Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) veg shares, and we keep Irish Moiled cattle, Gloucester Old Spot and Black pigs and around 150 laying hens. We make sausages, bacon and gammon on site from our own free-range pigs and sell them, together with grass-fed beef, eggs, jams, chutneys and homemade cakes, in our farm shop and The Pigsty cafe on Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. We also welcome volunteers, groups and community activities.

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.
