General Information:
We respectfully remind our customers that we are a working smallholding and children are welcome but must be kept under close supervision, for their own safety and for the welfare of our livestock. Customers are not permitted to enter our poultry pens or wander into the sheds or barns were many hazards exist. Customers should be aware of moving vehicles and farm machinery, beehives and cleaning equipment.
Please do not park your car on the lane as access is needed to homes and businesses beyond our smallholding. We have a car park in our yard which customers are invited to use, but at their own risk. Please do take care to avoid free range children and animals when you drive in. If our gate is closed you can use a little pull in area next to Hornsby's fence, opposite our gate.
We do not have a public toilet on our premises.

Lifting Assistance and Access Information:
If you require assistance in loading your car please visit us on Saturday mornings when Ian or one of the men are around to help. Lynsey usually covers weekday appointments and is not able to lift heavy loads due to ongoing back problems.
We are very proud of the fact that all of the public areas of our yard are easily accessible for wheelchair users.
There is no need for wellies on our farm, all of our public areas are hard standing. We would however ask that you do change your footwear if you have visited another farm, tended to your own flock or walked near a water course.
Please ensure you read this page carefully before you visit us, as it contains important information on our location, opening times and safety.
