At the moment we have a variety of animals which we keep. We thought we would give
you some information about the animals and breeds that we have.
Pigs
At the moment we have two different pure breeds of pig.The Gloucester Old Spot
and the Tamworth.
Gloucester Old Spot
The Gloucester Old Spot
A good dual purpose pig that is both hardy and docile it is very much a 'smallholders' pig and was known
in its early days as the 'Orchard' pig.
Tamworth
The Tamworth
One of the longest snouted pigs it is of great use to anyone who has a piece of rough overgrown land
that needs clearing. A great 'dual purpose' pig producing stunningly good pork as well as equally tremendous bacon.
A very distinctive pig with long legs, prick ears with a pure red or ginger coat.
Chickens
At the moment we have a variety of Hybrid Chickens, which are our main egg layers
and a small flock of pure bred Orpingtons
Orpingtons
We only have Buff Orpingtons but we are hoping to get some other colours as well.
Friendly Chickens and good layers too. They are quite a big bird but look very
cuddly due to having so many feathers.
