Monach Farm is a family run livestock farm at Hilton near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, rearing sheep, cattle and goats slowly and traditionally.
The meat is individually priced and sold frozen, and the range takes in lamb, hoggett and mutton, grass reared beef and lean kid goat, along with unpasteurised goat milk fresh to order and goat milk ice cream.
There is always someone around at the farm, so you can come through the little gate and up to the yard, or order by email, text or WhatsApp. The farm also makes goats milk soap and a range of gifts, and sells logs for wood burners and garden manure besides.

Excellent riding school with friendly, patient, and professional instructors. The horses are well cared for, and the atmosphere is welcoming. My daughter always enjoys her lessons and gains confidence and new skills every time. I highly recommend Monach Farm to anyone wanting to learn or improve their horse riding.
Avoid the owner. The stables, horses and other members of the team are fantastic however the owner let's her business down. My autistic daughter attended a Happy Hooves club where she throughly enjoyed building her knowledge, confidence and love for horses only to be belittled and humiliated by the owner during the assessments, not once but on two separate occasions despite the amount of parent complaints the first time she continued to put down children. Her lack of understanding and children skills are detrimental to children's mental health and wellbeing and I have seen so many children leave the stables heartbroken on so many occasions, my daughter being one of them. Now my daughter is terrified to return to Monach farms and despite her love for horses and riding since a young age she is now feeling like she is not good enough due to the impact of the owners actions and words. For somewhere with so many children I feel better safeguarding and understanding is needed from the owner. As a mother I am so so disappointed and heartbroken for my daughter.

Lovely place to learn how ride horse.
They have a riding school and sell fresh farm produce as well as excellent artisan ice cream: highly recommended!
Spoke with Mrs Randall (the owner) who is always polite & very informative. I am still waiting to hear back re lessons because they organise their rotas each Monday & I've submitted outside these times.
Very nice stables well looked after horses and super helpful and Kind girls working there too. however, ruins that the Manager had a very bitter Attitude to some riders, but other than that highly recommend.😊
Astonishingly disgraceful experience. Most of the staff here are nice. However, my daughter’s last lesson here ended with her in the hospital with an injured hip, after falling off a horse. Now I understand this is something that can happen but the treatment towards my daughter of that entire lesson caused her stress and the aftercare was nonexistent. From the get-go, the instructor (female owner of the farm) had a horrible and bitter attitude. My daughter has Tourette’s which can be triggered by stress and the farm are aware of this. The owner made several rude comments to my daughter such as “do you have a language problem” in front of the entire group (as she pulled the horse and my daughter on it aggressively to the middle). Once my daughter fell off the horse, the owner failed to provide any aftercare in such an incident. Instead she tried to rush her back onto the horse to finish the lesson. My daughter was shocked and speechless. We intervened and did not allow my daughter back on the horse as she was not ok and began crying. Pictured is the aftermath of my daughter in hospital with an injured hip. The owner, nor anyone at the farm, has contacted us since with an apology or even the slightest bit of concern for my daughter. It goes without saying that we won’t be returning and I would NOT recommend this place. The owner has no compassion or people-skills and should be kept away from students, especially children.
