DUCKS
Call Ducks and Black East Indian Ducks… you might hear them when I let them out in the morning. They are endlessly amusing and they live in our private walled garden where they are protected from most predators.
We are looking forward to ducklings in the Spring of 2026.
GOATS
Our pygmy goats are friendly, if slightly wary. We have three boys called Amos, Little John and Victor. Then two girls called Lady Grey and Giddy.
Their main aim in life is to get into the main house and upstairs!
SHEEP
We have eight sheep named after characters from a series of books by Tove Jansson.
Snufkin, The Island Ghost, The Ancestor, Moomintroll, Joxter, Alice, Thingumy & Bob.
They are a mixture of Clun, Blacknose Valais and Shetland crosses.
CHICKENS
We have four Orpington chickens – Banana Legs, Tomato, Muesli and Lavender
BEES
The bee hive is situated up in our vegetable garden and we only take off the excess honey for our own use. We make sure to leave the bees with plenty of their own honey to feed on.
PIGS – Not currently in residence
We have bred pigs for the past few years and absolutely love their personalities. It’s been a joy welcoming three litters of piglets. We are having a break from pigs for a few months whilst the ground recovers.
VEGETABLE GARDEN
We grow as much as we can for our own table and you’re welcome to pick some produce when it is in season.
