    Lovely farm, we bought beef, eggs and some sausages. The beef is amazing, the tastiest I've had in a long time. The herd is Hereford and it is 100% pasture fed, so no grains just grass. There is no shop as such instead you have to call ahead to order or order on the website. Highly recommended.
