Experience Life at The Barn – A Living, Breathing Farmstead

At The Barn, life moves with the rhythm of the land. Our working farm is at the heart of everything we do, from caring for animals to growing seasonal produce. Every day brings something new—whether it’s the birth of a lamb, the collection of fresh eggs, or the sight of alpacas grazing in the fields.

Meet the Animals

Our farm is home to a diverse range of animals, each playing a vital role in our rural way of life.

  • Sheep – We raise Wiltshire Horn and British Milk Sheep, known for their high-quality wool and rich, flavourful meat.
  • Pigs – Our Mangalitsa and Middle White pigs produce exceptional pork, including traditional sausages and home-cured cuts.
  • Alpacas – These gentle animals provide soft fleece, and in the summer, we eagerly await the arrival of new cria from our expectant mothers.
  • Chickens – Our free-range hens lay fresh eggs daily, perfect for farmhouse breakfasts.
  • Cattle – We occasionally rear Dexter beef cattle, a hardy and flavoursome native breed.
  • Other Animals – From working farm dogs to rabbits, tortoises, peacocks, and guinea fowl, every animal at The Barn adds to the charm and character of our home.

Sustainability – A Way of Life, Not Just a Trend

Sustainability is more than a philosophy at The Barn—it is part of our everyday life. We believe in working with nature, ensuring that we give back as much as we take.

  • Solar Energy – The roofs of our buildings are fitted with solar panels, helping us generate our own electricity.
  • Renewable Heating – The Barn’s heating and hot water come from a pellet-burning stove, complemented by a traditional log-burning fire.
  • Responsible Land Management – Firewood is sourced from our own fields and hedgerows, as well as scrap fencing from neighbouring farms, ensuring that no resource goes to waste.
  • Farm-to-Fork Living – By growing our own food and selling directly from the farm, we reduce food miles and promote a truly sustainable lifestyle.

At The Barn, sustainability is not just about protecting the environment—it is about fostering a thriving, self-sufficient way of life that respects the land and its resources.
