Started farming free range pork and lamb in 2005 on 65 acres that began as a barren field and grew Farm Gate from farmers markets to an online shop and on farm shop.

Staff: Amazingly helpful - Ask for a run down and you can immediately tell how passionate they are. They know their stuff and as a small well-run business deserve to be supported. Cheese Counter: Well stocked with rare, quality cheeses from Artisan cheese makers. No mass produced, Large herd size cheeses here. Meat: Again quality, in season and cuts which represent the animal it comes from. You only have to look at the different Lamb cuts. No supermarket style packaging making the cuts match the packaging. Each of the Lamb Chops are based on the size of the animal. Tasty too.... Wish we were closer as enjoyed the visit but with online it may well be my regular go to for a meatbox.

Superb is the only way I can describe the farm shop. The meat is free range and you know what you get is quality. A wide selection of different cheeses, some of which are difficult to find elsewhere. Steve and all the team are so welcoming and accommodating to our requests. Well worth a detour if you are visiting the area.
